Compact

I would make with you a compact:

sworn to silence

sworn to peace

keepers of each others’ sins

partners in crime.

For now and forever after

let there be honor

between us two thieves,

a sterling bond

that tarnishes with neglect

but still holds strong.

Think not I would be jubilant

should there be more between us

than our silence

and your smile,

for I’m not one to fracture time

and give a piece to all.

And though you’re dear to memory

each hour is dear to heart.
