The Cheat: Betrayal Poem by Vinaya Joseph

In the whispers of a heart untrue,
A shadowed path the faithful never knew.
Beneath the gaze of love's serene,
Lies betrayal, sharp and keen.

Promises like morning dew,
Evaporate under skies of blue.
A fleeting glance, a touch, a lie,
With every secret, love's wings die.

Fidelity, a golden thread,
Weaving trust in words unsaid.
Yet, here it frays, a silent tear,
The bond once pure, now laid bare.

True love's a beacon, strong and bright,
Guiding souls through darkest night.
But in the cheat's deceptive art,
Love's light is dimmed, a broken heart.


In gardens lush with fragrant bloom,
Where passion's flames dispel the gloom,
Temptation whispers, soft and sweet,
A siren's call, deceit's deceit.

The eyes that wander, hands that stray,
In moments brief, love goes away.
Yet fleeting is the joy it brings,
A hollow echo of what sings.

A smile, a laugh, a stolen kiss,
In these, the soul finds fleeting bliss.
Yet in the depth of night's embrace,
Guilt's shadow crosses every face.

For in the heart that once was true,
A fissure forms, a break in view.
The promises once held so dear,
Now tarnished by the cheat's veneer.


In the heart betrayed, a storm does rage,
A sorrow penned on every page.
The trust once given, now in shards,
A castle fallen, lost its guards.

How cruel the cheat, to feign a love,
To swear by stars and skies above,
Yet harbor secrets in the night,
And turn from truth's enduring light.

The pain of knowing, hard to bear,
A wound that festers, always there.
The faithful heart, in torment, cries,
Beneath the weight of hidden lies.

Yet still it beats, though scarred and worn,
A testament to love once sworn.
It clings to hope, to dreams once shared,
In moments pure, when hearts were bared.

Forgiveness, such a lofty goal,
A balm to heal the wounded soul.
Can love survive deceit's cruel blow,
And find a way to mend and grow?

To forgive is not to forget,
Nor cast aside the pain, the debt.
It's choosing love above the strife,
And seeking truth in tangled life.

In every tear and whispered plea,
There lies a path to liberty.
For love, though bruised, can rise again,
And find its way through grief and pain.

Yet trust must earn its place anew,
In actions kind, in words that true.
For only then can hearts repair,
And rediscover love's sweet air.


True love, a fortress, stands so tall,
Against the winds that seek its fall.
It bends but never breaks in storm,
In coldest night, it keeps us warm.

In every trial, love finds its grace,
A gentle touch, a kind embrace.
Through darkest days and longest nights,
It shines its pure, unyielding light.

For love that's true can weather all,
The rise and fall, the great and small.
It grows with time, it learns, it heals,
And in its strength, the soul reveals.

No cheat, no lie can dim its glow,
For in its truth, the heart will know,
That love, once tested, only grows,
And in its light, fidelity shows.

In paths where shadows once did creep,
Now sunlight casts a promise deep.
For love reborn, though once betrayed,
Can walk anew, unafraid.

The journey back to trust is long,
Yet every step can make it strong.
In words sincere and actions just,
Lies the foundation of new trust.

For in the ashes of deceit,
A phoenix rises, strong and sweet.
It soars on wings of hope and grace,
And finds in love its rightful place.

Two hearts that dance in perfect time,
In love's embrace, a rhyme sublime.
They move as one, in step, in beat,
In every moment, love's complete.

The cheat, a ghost, now fades away,
In light of love's eternal day.
For true love knows no end, no bound,
In its embrace, all joy is found.

So let us cherish love so pure,
In faith and trust, let it endure.
For in the end, it's love that wins,
And in its light, new life begins.

In looking back, the heart may see,
The journey through the tempest sea.
From stormy nights to sunlit days,
Love's path, though twisted, always stays.

In every tear, in every smile,
Love finds its strength through every trial.
It learns to bend, it learns to grow,
And in its depth, true beauty shows.

For in the end, it's not the cheat,
That defines love's final beat.
But how we rise, how we forgive,
And in love's light, choose to live.

True love, once scarred, can heal, renew,
In every dawn, in every dew.
It stands as proof of love's great might,
In fidelity's unwavering light.


So here we stand, in love's embrace,
With hearts that beat in perfect grace.
No cheat, no lie can break the chain,
Of love that's true, through joy and pain.

In every vow, in every kiss,
We find a world of boundless bliss.
For love that's true will never fade,
In its pure light, all shadows laid.

Eternal flame, forever bright,
Guiding us through darkest night.
In love's pure light, we find our way,
And in fidelity, we choose to stay.

In this tale of love and woe,
We see the seeds of true love grow.
For even in the darkest night,
Love finds its way, a guiding light.

The cheat, a lesson harsh and cold,
Yet in its wake, a truth unfolds.
That love, once tested, can prevail,
In every heart, it tells its tale.

So let us cherish, let us hold,
To love that's true, both young and old.
For in fidelity, love's strength is shown,
And in its light, we find our home.
