The Rhythm Of Your Breath

Seven years etched in photographs, a smile in every frame
Two lives entwined, a whispered oath, beneath a single name
Our haven built on promises, a love we thought would last
But shadows danced behind your eyes, a secret held too fast

A crack appeared, a fault line deep, beneath the surface calm
A different scent upon your sleeve, a stranger's gentle palm
My heart, a detective on the case, piecing fragments small
Unraveling the tapestry, about to watch it fall

Late night calls you couldn't take, a hurried, hushed goodbye
A web of lies you spun with grace, reflected in your eye
I followed trails of coded texts, a meeting in the rain
Each stolen glance, each hidden touch, ignited burning pain

A crack appeared, a fault line deep, beneath the surface calm
A different scent upon your sleeve, a stranger's gentle palm
My heart, a detective on the case, piecing fragments small
Unraveling the tapestry, about to watch it fall

I thought I knew your every scar, the rhythm of your breath
But now a stranger stood where once, I found solace from death
The truth emerged, a bitter taste, a twist I couldn't see
The one you held in secret arms... Was tragically, me

The crack was me, the fault line deep, beneath a fractured soul
The different scent, a cheap disguise, to fill an empty hole
My heart, a detective lost and blind, the pieces wouldn't fit
The betrayal's mirror showed my face, the secret I commit

Seven years, a love undone, by shadows of the past
A long-term lie, a twisted game, a final die is cast
The unexpected end arrives, a drama unforeseen
We were the secret, and the lie, in this devastating scene
