Warrior's Lament |
 |
|
Sorrow descending, gently blending
with tears for
years left unshed...
shadows drifting, memories shifting,
voices calling from the dead...
obligations feared
unfinished, guilt
pressing undiminished, pulsing,
throbbing through his head;
soul aching, heart breaking
from
all the dark thoughts left unsaid.
Contrition is
now a lasting condition,
though he had himself fiercely
fought
... and bled. |
