Poems About Betrayal of Love
Table of Contents
The Echoes of Departed Trust
In the silent spaces between us,
Betrayal whispers its cruel tale.
Not in words, but in the quiet,
Where love once danced, now stale.
Eyes, mirrors of the soul, clouded,
Reflecting not what was, but what's lost.
Promises, like fallen leaves,
Carried away, not counting the cost.
In the echo of your footsteps,
A story of departure, so cold.
The warmth we shared, extinguished,
In the silence, our story told.
Gone, the laughter that filled our nights,
Replaced by the shadow of deceit.
In your absence, the cold bites,
A reminder of the defeat.
Yet, in this desolation, I find,
A strength, buried deep within.
From the ruins of what was left behind,
A new chapter, I begin.
Love, not shackled by your betrayal,
Rises, a phoenix from despair.
In the echoes of departed trust,
I find the courage to repair.

Shards of Once
In the quiet, betrayal unfolds,
A tapestry frayed at the edges.
Words, once sweet, now sour,
Leaving a taste of foregone pledges.
Hands that held, now push away,
The warmth turned to a chilling frost.
Shadows lengthen in the light of day,
Counting the cost of what's lost.
Trust, a fragile thing, shattered,
Scattered pieces on the ground.
In the silence, questions mattered,
Answers, once easy, now profound.
The mirror reflects a solitary figure,
Haunted by a love that's now a fissure.
The echoes of a shared past linger,
A melody turned into a harsh whisper.
Yet, in this space of broken things,
A seed of strength quietly sings.
From the rubble, a new self springs,
Unfettered by past bindings.
Betrayal, a cruel teacher, indeed,
But from its lessons, I am freed.
In the shards of once, I find my creed,
To heal, to grow, and to succeed.
