Veridict Untrue

Shadows twist beneath the flickering light
Accusations etched like scars in stone
A world convulses, cold and overgrown
I wander lost within this endless night

Chains of rumor wind around my mind
Fractured truths collapse where lies reside
The law convicts, though innocence abides
Time corrodes, yet memory won’t unwind

I never spoke the crime they claim
Yet whispers bind me with their flame
The river bends, it knows my name
One day it’ll carve away the shame

Faces blur, their verdicts like decay
Labyrinthine courts of twisted reason
Hope flickers dimly, stolen by the season
I bear the weight of night and endless day

Silence claws at walls of fragile bone
Words unspoken echo through the void
Every breath they take has been destroyed
Yet in this storm, my soul survives alone

I never spoke the crime they claim
Yet whispers bind me with their flame
The river bends, it knows my name
One day it’ll carve away the shame
