I Remember
By: Athens Eternal Maiden
In that moment, the whole world seemed to move in slow motion. I was nailed in place
I knew what it would look like, even though I could not see your face
There would be a look of that old determination in your eye; the look I knew so well
That look would still be upon your face as you fell, fell, fell
At one time I thought you an angel, though you said you were anything but. I expected you to fly away
But, 'twas never going to end that way
Finally, the world began to move again
And over to your lifeless body I ran
A halo of red blood in your ebony hair
Your vibrant blue eyes were glassy and blank as you lie there
Even to this day my life will never be the same
And I shall wince whenever I hear your name
Someone once said "Know yourself and to yourself be true"
But, I can never again be me without you
Now, they say your name in whispers, with poison on their lips
I can almost see it as it drips, drips, drips
Down and tarnishes you legacy
Oh, if you could only see!
How they speak of you now, all because of one wicked man
Who carried out his wicked plan
To play a game with others lives
Dangling their very beings over beds of knives
In the end, you saved us all
You, a hero, taking your final fall
