Friends are treasures, or so they seem,
Yet shadows hide beneath their gleam.
A smile may mask a heart of lies,
Deception lurks in friendly skies.
The ones you trust with all your soul,
Can leave you broken, far from whole.
In moments shared, we laugh and cheer,
But whispers of doubt may linger near.
Their mere promises may softly fade,
Revealing truths their hearts have made.
When the storm clouds gather, intentions shift,
What once felt like a bond can become a rift.
Beware the ones who charm too fast,
Their loyalty may never last.
With flattery sweet and intentions murky,
They leave you questioning who's truly worthy.
A handshake firm, a hug so warm,
Can swiftly turn into a storm.
The laughter that echoed may turn to sighs,
As trust unravels, and friendship dies.
Not every laugh is pure and true,
Not every friend is meant for you.
Some light a path, while others mislead,
Filling your heart with doubt and greed.
So tread with care, be wise and keen,
Not all who follow are what they seem.
In a world where masks are worn with pride,
Seek the genuine; let love be your guide.
True friendship stands the test of time,
But falsehoods rot like spoiled lime.
Through storms and trials, the faithful will stay,
While fleeting acquaintances drift away.
Guard your heart and choose with care,
For friends are mysteries, everywhere.
In the tapestry of life, some threads are gold,
While others unravel, leaving stories untold.
So cherish the bonds that lift you high,
And learn to discern the truth from the lie.
In the garden of friendship, may wisdom take root,
As you navigate paths in your quest for the truth.
