In the depths of the night, where shadows roam,
Whispers of deceit, a silent groan.
Masked in smiles, but eyes betray,
Truth obscured, in the games played.
Deception's dance, a dangerous game,
Hearts entangled, in lies aflame.
But illusions fade, when the light shines through,
Revealing the falsehoods, that once we knew.
Words like honey, sweet and pure,
But beneath the surface, motives obscure.
Promises broken, like fragile glass,
In the tangled web, we're trapped, alas.
Deception's grip, a tightening hold,
Leaving scars, where trust once strolled.
Yet through the pain, we learn to see,
The masks we wear, and who we'll be.
Oh, the price we pay, for truths untold,
In the labyrinth of lies, our souls grow cold.
But courage rises, from ashes of fear,
To break the chains, and make truth clear.
Deception's veil, may cloud the way,
But in the end, we'll find our say.
For honesty's light, will always shine,
Guiding us home, through the darkest of times.
