In the quiet of his chamber, a man stood still,
Haunted by a sight that gave a chilling thrill.
His love, his life, in another's embrace,
In the sanctity of his space, a heart's disgrace.
The walls echoed with laughter once shared,
Now, whispers of betrayal, how he was ensnared.
A picture-perfect life, a facade so thin,
Unraveling swiftly, the madness within.
With each tick of the clock, his mind did race,
Memories twisted in a macabre dance, a frantic chase.
Trust, once unyielding, now shattered like glass,
A future once bright, now a dark morass.
He walked through his home, a stranger in his land,
Every corner, every shadow, by paranoia manned.
The echoes of deceit, a symphony so dire,
Fueling the embers of his smoldering ire.
In the mirror, a reflection of a man he once knew,
Now a visage of anguish, through and through.
A descent into madness, a soul's eclipse,
As sanity from his grasp, like sand, it slips.
Yet in the depths of his mind, a light did flicker,
A realization that made his heart beat quicker.
The betrayal, a scene, not as it seemed,
A play of the mind, a nightmare dreamed.
Awake he jolted, in his bed alone,
No deceitful pair, just an empty home.
A test of the psyche, a subconscious probe,
In relief he sighed, wrapped in his robe.
For love was not lost, nor trust betrayed,
His wife, ever faithful, her vows still weighed.
A mind's creation, from fears deep inside,
A lesson learned, in himself to confide.
With a grateful heart and a clearer view,
He embraced his life, as morning dew.
The man who once teetered on sanity's brink,
Found strength in love, more solid than ink.
