The bells toll, eyes turn inward in weep; not for your passing, rather, for my remaining... I did not accompany you on the journey... the one you made without my consent. Who knows why your bells rang before I was ready to hear? Tomorrow is another moment of angered remembrance. Wave the flags of surrender high, my dear soldier of yesterday, so I may see your smile shine over these horrid cloudbursts. |
