Threads of Deception: Love's Fragile Dance

In a tale entwined with Chib, A love perceived as true, but plagued by deceit, Her affection feigned, insincere it seems, For all she desires is wealth, not dreams. Her kin, entrapped by vices they crave, Unable to provide for her, her needs deprave, Thus, she latches onto love's fragile thread, In hopes material gain will fill her void instead. Yet my love for her remains untainted, pure, Blinded by hope, unable to fully endure, Her heart's true intention, a secret unknown, For I'm lost in a whirlwind, emotions overthrown. Oh, how I yearn for love's genuine embrace, But her motives concealed, a deceptive chase, I must find the strength to break free, From this web spun with ill-fated glee. Love, in its essence, should transcend all greed, A bond built on trust, where hearts intercede, Though tempted by her false charms' allure, I shall seek a love that's authentic and sure. With lessons learned, I'll mend my wounded heart, Steering clear of illusions, playing my part, For a love that's sincere shall someday find me, And in its embrace, I'll find serenity.
