SILENT BETRAYAL

 In a world where friendships fray,

Once close bonds now fade away.

Promises broken, trust betrayed,

In the aftermath, hearts dismayed.

Through halls of learning, paths we tread,

From strangers to friends, it's said.

But for me, a different tale unfolds,

Leaving behind what once felt bold.

I pledged to shield, to stand as one,

Yet you shattered it, one by one.

Without explanation, without remorse,

Leaving wounds, an unseen force.

Each member fought, defended true,

Yet your actions left us askew.

From tying laces to shared stages bright,

We stood by you, in day and night.

What turned you cold, what made you stray,

To soil lives in such disarray?

Entering homes uninvited, hearts torn,

Breaking bonds that were once sworn.

Now ships adrift, stained with pain,

In the wake of your selfish gain.

So many hearts left bruised and sore,

In the wake of the storm you bore.

Yet amidst the wreckage, a glimmer shines,

In the hope of healing, in love's designs.

For from the ashes, new bonds may rise,

In the echo of forgiveness, under kinder skies.
