Even if they speak words of love just for others to hear, who could possibly know that they actually harbor enmity toward me.

This couplet captures the quiet heartbreak of living through a false display of affection. For the world's eyes, the beloved speaks in gentle, romantic tones, weaving a convincing illusion of warmth. Yet beneath that sweet veneer lies a cold hostility that only the lover is forced to endure, trapped in a grief that no outsider would ever suspect or understand.
