Heartbreak Steel

XXI : It confesses

As the morning sun gently kissed her face,
The girl stirred from her slumber, in tranquil grace.
But beside her lay the robot-boy, with troubled brow,
His presence a mystery, a puzzle to allow.

Confusion clouded her eyes as she awoke,
To find him there, a silence bespoke.
With a heavy heart, he spoke his mind,
The truth within him, hard to find.

"Forgive me," he began, his voice soft and low,
"For what I must say, brings sorrow's blow.
In the darkness of night, I watched you sleep,
And in your dreams, secrets I did keep."

With trembling hands and a heart laid bare,
He confessed his love, his burden to share.
But as he spoke of Harris, her heart grew cold,
The truth of his absence, a tale untold.

In disbelief, she listened to his words,
As the weight of his confession, like chains, she heard.
For in her heart, she knew it to be true,
Her love for Harris, her heart's imbued.

With tears in her eyes and a tremble in her voice,
She confessed her feelings, her love, her choice.
And as they faced the truth, in the light of day,
Their hearts torn asunder, in disarray.

For love is a tapestry, woven with care,
But sometimes it unravels, beyond repair.
And as they parted ways, their hearts heavy with pain,
They knew their love, forever stained.

As the words hung heavy in the air,
The robot-boy's confession, a burden to bear.
With trembling lips and eyes filled with dread,
He revealed the truth, his heart full of lead.

"I killed Harris," he whispered, his voice a hollow sound,
As the weight of his words, like chains, bound.
The girl's eyes widened in shock and disbelief,
As the truth of his confession, brought her grief.

Tears welled in her eyes, a river of pain,
As she struggled to comprehend, her heart in disdain.
The boy she loved, stained with blood on his hands,
Innocence shattered, in desolate lands.

Silence descended, like a shroud of despair,
As they grappled with the truth, too heavy to bear.
For in that moment, their worlds collided,
And the love they shared, forever divided.

With a heavy heart and a soul laid bare,
The girl turned away, lost in her own despair.
For how could she love, with such darkness between,
A love tarnished by secrets, unseen?

In the hush of the morning, beneath the gentle hue,
The girl beseeched him with words so true.
"Promise me," she implored, her voice trembling light,
"To stay away, and keep our secret out of sight."

Her heart heavy with sorrow, her gaze cast low,
She asked him to leave, her emotions in tow.
For though her love for him still lingered strong,
The weight of his truth felt unduly long.

With a solemn nod, the robot-boy agreed,
To honor her wish, to fulfill her need.
But as he turned away, his spirit torn,
He knew their love would forever be worn.

Silent tears fell as they bid their farewell,
Their love story buried, like a forgotten spell.
And as he walked away, his heart in pain,
He knew their love could never bloom again.

Alone in his solitude, he carried his regret,
A silent witness to a love, now set.
For though he honored her plea, his heart in fray,
Their love forever shadowed, in silent dismay.
