Betrayal cuts deep, leaving a wound that no apology can easily heal. It’s the sting of trusting someone, only to watch them shatter that trust without a second thought. The worst part isn’t just the act itself—it’s the realization that you were blind to the lies, that you let yourself believe in something that was never real. It leaves you questioning everything, not just about them, but about yourself. Were you too naive? Too forgiving? The weight of those doubts lingers, turning every memory into something tainted, every good moment into a cruel joke.

What makes betrayal so painful is that it never comes from a stranger—it’s the people you let close, the ones you never thought would hurt you. It changes you, makes you build walls where there were once open doors. You start second-guessing kindness, seeing hidden motives where there may be none. And yet, deep down, there’s still that desperate hope that not everyone is like this, that maybe, just maybe, trust isn’t always a mistake. But the scars remain, whispering caution every time you try to believe in someone again.
