About Someone
Shattered Trust
You wielded words like daggers, sharp and cruel,
Leaving scars on my heart, a painful duel.
The love we had, now a distant ghost,
In the silence of betrayal, I feel it most.
About Someone
Wounds of Yesterday
Your actions carved deep wounds within,
Turning sweet memories to bitter sin.
Once we were whole, now fractured, torn,
From the ashes of us, new strength is born.
About Someone
Broken Chains
I trusted you with all my heart,
Only to find it ripped apart.
But through the pain, I found my way,
In the ruins of trust, I will not stay.
About Someone
The Prankster's Plight
He put glue on my chair, oh what a fright,
Stuck like a fool all through the night.
But now he slips on banana peels,
Karma's funny, how it feels.
His tricks have turned back to bite,
Watching him stumble is pure delight.
Revenge served with a smile so wide,
Karma's a prank on the other side.
About Someone
Stinging Sarcasm
Her words like bees, they stung my pride,
But now I laugh, I take it in stride.
Stings fade, and so does pain,
Now I zing back, it's all a game.
Her sarcasm once a mighty sting,
Now just a buzz, a minor thing.
We spar with wit, a playful jest,
In this game, I hold my crest.
About Someone
Scars and Lessons
In the shadows of your deceit,
I found a strength, bittersweet.
Your words, sharp as a knife,
Cut deep into my life.
From the ashes of your betrayal's fire,
I rose, stronger, reaching higher.
Pain you caused, a teacher unkind,
Yet from it, I did not resign.
Through the scars, I found my way,
To a brighter, kinder day.
Your cruelty, a storm I braved,
From it, a new path I paved.
