Kill

the boy.

You have to.

Surely you know

winter is coming:

innocence shall perish.

The cold corrupts tender things;

a knife in his young, beating heart

may be the only mercy he finds

white walking towards a broken future...What kind of man could he become some day?

Should ideals grow dense like his bones

the world might prove too small a stage

to project his destiny

you must protect the boy

that once lived in you.

All that remains

is ash, if

that boy

dies.
