Embers of Betrayal


The embers glow in the dark of night,
A silent witness to the broken light.
Their dim, soft warmth a haunting glow,
Of a love that was, not long ago.

They whisper secrets of a past,
Of promises made, meant to last.
But within their shadows, the truth unfolds,
The tale of a heart that was bought and sold.

In every ember, I see your face,
A ghost that time will not erase.
Your lies, like sparks, still dance in the air,
A cruel reminder of the love we shared.

The fire may fade, but the embers stay,
A constant echo of that fateful day.
When trust was shattered and vows betrayed,
And all we built began to fray.

Now, every ember that glows tonight,
Carries the weight of our lost fight.
A reminder that burns with a cold, dark flame,
That I'm still haunted by your name.

The embers of betrayal will always burn,
A lesson in love that I've come to learn.
That even in ashes, the pain remains,
A flickering torment that forever stains.
