Authentic Bonds

In shadows cast by false camaraderie,

Where trust dissolves in a deceitful sea.

Fake friends, their smiles, a subtle guise,

Masking intentions beneath friendship's lies.

They dance with words, a crafted charade,

Yet loyalty's thread is swiftly frayed.

A shallow bond, a brittle veneer,

Cracks emerge when sincerity's near.

Through laughter shared a hollow sound,

Beneath the surface, deceit is found.

Fair-weathered whispers, a fleeting trend,

True bonds shattered, illusions to mend.

In the garden of trust, weeds intertwine,

Choking authenticity, a friendship's decline.

But from the ruins, lessons arise,

A discerning heart, with wisdom, and ties.

So, in this tale of shadows and light,

True friends emerge, resilient and bright.

For in the crucible of trials faced,

Authentic bonds stand, unshaken, embraced.
