They say it's something that cowards do, and they couldn't be more wrong.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOnF5gt8gK
It's an act of courage. To overstep those boundaries of trust, to go against the irrationality of emotion for the greater good.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd8vGSepdj
I tell myself this as I walk down the road, fields passing by and their cries fading away, but it doesn't stop their tears from stinging more than mine.
Death awaits me in a carriage, with a uniform and a mustache. On his wrist, a watch that my family and I would never be able to afford with a lifetime of savings, counting down the hours until I die. It may be just twenty four. It may be over a thousand. Little metal hands clicking clockwise eternally, but eventually even their cold insides will rust and grind to a halt.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC0RNMGd3c

Eyes that scream, filth.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYwZogaGFJ
Down the road, a broken promise awaits.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKKeqOQPdc
You said our families would be safe.878Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19k1V4Qa3n
But the watch hands keep ticking, the wheels keep rolling, and the lone hearts keep breaking, because since when was a coward's promise kept?
