What They Used to Be

What they used to be

I do not know.

The past has become icy.

How did friend become foe?

One sword, two who wield it.

One shall live, the other must die.

Their friendship became a hollow pit.

In the distance, a frozen cry.

Now, in the present times

The one thought dead has returned,

And the other, because of the first's crimes,

Shall, by the Phoenix, be burned.

How could such a friendship built on trust

Crumble into scattered parts?

Like a diamond turned to dust,

Shattered are these lonely hearts.

One sword, two who wield it.

One shall live, the other shall die.

A friendship turned into a hollow pit.

In the distance, a frozen cry.
