On the first day the flames devoured everything,
you said,
"I'll be by your side forever."
But on the second day the flames devoured everything,
you said,
"I'm sorry. I broke my promise."
Theme: Have you ever felt what it's like to fall from heaven into the abyss?
I've wondered countless times in my heart
how he would say those words to me.
Would he give me a gentle kiss, look at me tenderly, and say, "I love you"?
But what I ended up waiting for was
him lying in a pool of blood, right before my eyes,
seen through my rifle scope,
saying,
"I'm sorry. I broke my promise."
I could have run just a few steps and held him in my arms,
and told him face to face,
"I love you."
But reason told me,
"You can't."
That helplessness,
I think,
was perhaps what it feels like when an angel's wings are broken
and they fall into the abyss.
