About Someone
Fractured Vows
Your promises, now hollow and thin,
Betrayal's sting, a relentless din.
In the shards of trust, I see the truth,
Our bond now broken, no longer smooth.
About Someone
Deceptive Smiles
Beneath your smiles, a deceitful guise,
Your actions, a web of cruel lies.
Once I believed in your facade,
Now I see through the charade.
About Someone
Bitter Revelation
The mask you wore, now cast aside,
Reveals the depths of secrets you hide.
In your betrayal, I find my release,
From chains of trust, I seek my peace.
About Someone
Betrayal's Biscuit
You ate my last cookie, you fiendish cad,
Left me with crumbs, oh how sad.
But now I've hidden the best snacks,
In places you won't find the tracks.
Your betrayal over a chocolate chip,
Made our snack wars take a flip.
Now you'll search and never find,
The treats I've tucked in spots so blind.
About Someone
Trust's Tumble
You borrowed my bike, said you'd be quick,
Brought it back broken, a dirty trick.
Trust tumbled like you off the seat,
Now walking's my way on the street.
Your promises were thin as air,
Now my bike's in disrepair.
Betrayal on two wheels it seems,
Now I stick to walking dreams.
About Someone
Broken Trust
In the garden of our shared past,
Trust once grew, strong and vast.
Your betrayal, a frost so cold,
Withered the bonds of old.
Words of venom, actions sly,
Turned our truths into a lie.
In the wreckage of your deceit,
I found the strength to retreat.
From the shadows of your betrayal's night,
I emerged into the light.
Though trust was shattered, hope remains,
In the lessons learned from those pains.
