Shadows of Truth

In the shadows where the cold winds blow,

Truth gets twisted, oh, so low.

Whispers paint a picture, dark and cruel,

But in the silence, I won’t be the fool.

You wore your smile like a mask so bright,

Behind those eyes, there’s a hidden fight.

Every promise you made was a shining jewel,

But the dagger of lies was your chosen tool.

Locked in this battle, your words turn to blades,

Slicing the trust, it’s the price I’ve paid.

You name me the villain, tell them what you crave,

But I see the heart of the lies you save.

I’m breaking free from the chains you’ve spun,

Can't turn my truth into ashes and run.

When the storm rolls in, let the truth unfold,

The silver lining glimmers, and I’ll be bold.

Oh, I gave you the world, I treated you right,

With every small kindness, I fought through the night.

But your words spill poison, and I feel the weight,

Of a truth that is twisted, but I won’t wait.

They say that the strong can carry the hurt,

But you’ve turned the tables, dug me into the dirt.

Mothers and friends wrapped in your sweet lies,

But I see the pain behind all your cries.

Your game is so old, tried and so true,

But deep down I know, it’s just me and you.

In this war for the hearts, I’ll hold my ground,

The truth has its way, and it will be found.

I’m breaking free from the chains you’ve spun,

Can't turn my truth into ashes and run.

When the storm rolls in, let the truth unfold,

The silver lining glimmers, and I’ll be bold.

So let the echoes of tomorrow ring clear,

With every whispered lie, I’ll cast out the fear.

In the silence, I’ll stand, in the light I’ll be found,

The truth will rise up, unbroken, unbound.
