The Blood of Forgotten Oaths
Steel-bound words once carved in stone, Now rust in whispers, dead and alone.
The oaths we swore in fire and ash, Lie shattered now—mere ghosts of past.
A blade was drawn, a wound was made, Yet scars still whisper, cold and frayed.
Beneath the weight of silent screams, The echoes writhe, the soul redeems.
Ink turns black beneath the

Broken Oaths
It is relentlessly our intent
To do the right thing.
Why then do we relent—
A bird with broken wing?
