Silence

Gazing intently at both the affluent and the humble, it silently observes their every move. With a mind filled with unsettling thoughts, it peers into their very essence, yet refrains from trespassing into their thoughts. If you dare to lock eyes with its lifeless, icy gaze, it possesses the power to consume you in unimaginable ways. Its words possess the ability to manipulate your every action and existence. Should it hold on for too long and love too deeply, it becomes a toxic poison coursing through your veins. If it lowers its defenses and allows you entry, it knows your destiny, but also foresees the inevitable end. If it permits love to blossom and reciprocates with unwavering intensity, we will ultimately wither and crumble apart. Should you succumb to this temptation, it will lead to either your demise or mine. Thus, I fortify my walls like an impenetrable fortress, for if I were to let them crumble and you prove impure, it would devour you mercilessly. In that moment, I witnessed the tragic demise of two lovers.
