Injustice between brothers left un-mended, with no chance left to reconcile.
|
Will you forgive me in my memories?
|
For I can¡¯t turn back the hands of time.
|
Haunted by questions of what could have been.
|
Sorrow, shame, regret.
|
Friendship defiled.
|
The smoke settles as the echo fades.
|
This quiet stillness is so peace less.
|
Hopeless decision made in haste, leaving only ¡°numb¡± ? the hand scrawled explanation.
|
Why couldn¡¯t you have waited five more minutes?
|
Why couldn¡¯t I have spared five more of mine?
|
Who am I to shed a tear?
|
The Hope I bear I bore inside.
|
The silence shatters as the fall breaks.
|
Lifetime reflection in a momentary decent.
|
Tragic accident without warning left so many ends untied.
|
Why couldn¡¯t I have said I¡¯m sorry?
|
Why had I forsaken you?
|
Brotherhood I have defiled.
|
The Love I bare I have denied.
|
Brother against brother, selfish stubborn battle.
|
Petty qualms fester deep, severing all ties.
|
Principles borne to heart have all been pushed aside.
|
Tragedy reveals this squandered wasted time.
|
Great truths revealed through grave mistakes.
|
Hard lessons learned through retrospect.
|
Bite not the hand that has been offered.
|
Deny not a hand to help another.
|
Let bitter judgment fall the way of hate and embrace thy brethren.
