You cherished the secrets Victoria sought to keep, 
Yet, like a shadow, you masked your true intentions from me. 
Adorning lust with deceitful jewels, 
You called it love while I reached for dreams you spun, 
Silken threads slipping through my desperate fingers. 
Your actions spoke a language of stark contradiction, 
But who was I to question the illusions?

You shone with clarity while I wandered, blind and lost, 
Struggling to decipher the blurred lines you cast, 
In a solitude we never dared to name— 
Now only echoes of my sorrows whisper my name. 

Here lies the death of the girl I once was, 
The lover you cradled tenderly, 
Now a ghost, fading like whispers of a future 
Only I dared to dream. 
Withering under the weight of shattered promises, 
Like petals crushed beneath careless feet, 
Once vibrant blooms reduced to dust, 
Scattered in the breeze, a haunting trace 
Of my tender seeds of authenticity, 
Now lost in the shadows of what could have been.
