Echoes of the soul

In the silence of the night, a heart's lament,
Echoes of betrayal, the soul's torment,
A lover's embrace, now tainted and cold,
As whispers of deceit, through the darkness unfold.

Eyes once bright with love, now clouded with pain,
A shattered trust, like shards of rain,
Numbness creeps in, a chilling embrace,
As reality twists, leaving no trace.

The world fades away, in a haze of disbelief,
As the heartache deepens, beyond all relief,
Betrayed by a glance, a touch, a lie,
In the wake of betrayal, emotions run dry.

Yet amidst the numbness, a flicker remains,
A flame of resilience, despite the chains,
For love may falter, but the spirit will rise,
From the ashes of betrayal, to claim its prize.

So let the numbness fade, let the heartache mend,
For in the journey of love, wounds will eventually tend,
And though scars may linger, a new dawn will come,
Where love's gentle embrace, will outshine the numb.
