The Honeymoon Murder

 


A life was born in silence-

not of envy, nor of doubt,

but where fear began to think,

and love was quietly devoured.


In the stillness, shadows gathered,

buried beneath practiced calm:

a fragile seed of trust

crushed beneath the weight of secrets.


Uninvited. Inconvenient.

It grew beneath the surface,

its heartbeat a fleeting echo,

treated not as life but proof of guilt.


A truth that threatened order,

a future that would not fit-

innocence eclipsed

by careful forgetting.


Society’s gaze became the judge,

its whispers sharper than law.

Disgrace loomed heavier than death,

so a plan was quietly drawn.


Not in rage, but in cold patience,

a script written in silence,

betrayal cloaked in normalcy,

smiles rehearsed to hide the fracture.


The victim dreamed without fear,

folded their future into vows-

shared roofs, unnamed children,

mornings still unbroken.


Trust was given freely,

love without suspicion,

never knowing each tenderness

was a step closer to erasure.


Plans matured with care,

tickets bought, rooms chosen,

water chosen for how well

it swallowed secrets.


Affection became rehearsal,

kisses measured, final act rehearsed-

costing nothing

but a soul.


No struggle.

No hesitation.

Only precision.

A calculated push.


A tide enlisted as accomplice,

darkness obeyed, the sea learned silence,

its depths trained to hide screams,

a breath taken cleanly beneath a moon.


By dawn, grief was performed,

tears delivered on cue,

hands trembled just enough to convince,

flowers laid where truth would not return.


Where trust lay drowned,

innocence could not speak,

and humanity-this is your inheritance:

when fear outruns conscience.


When honor outweighs life,

evil no longer needs fury,

only patience.

The coldest crimes are silent.


The deepest wounds do not cry aloud,

the cruelest betrayals

are committed by those

who were trusted most.


Where love once lived,

only echoes remain,

and hearts that dared to trust

are lost to shadowed pain.
