The Pact: Murdered By Silence
This thought embedded deed in
my mind like a seed.
A secret pricking its poison
compelling me to scream.
A decision I contemplated noble
indeed.
But magnanimity isn't without its

Cold from lies as i am a part of
this mechanism.
Promised that i may never walk

My tears evaporate as I burn
inside.
And red eyes are all that I might
show for my anguish.

A piece of a puzzle, in this frame
A trivial contract that I now
