Disclaimer I do not own Enjolras or any other character in Les Mis. They all belong to Victor Hugo!This story is completely AU I know Enjolras never had a "True Love" but in my story he does!
The Tomb All Flooded By The Dawn!
I came to repent by the old grave in Paris
For the sins of my past, future and present
It was cold, the weather was not pleasant
As I came to relax in Enjolras' presence
1806-1832
If he'd known when he'd died if he only knew
That all those years later - Someone would be here
To wipe away all the threats and the tears
That his love would be kneeling head in hands at his grave
He'd known that I did it for the life that he gave
To remember all of the blood that they shed
Especially that man with a vest of red "The color of freedom to one and all!"
I could not help but heed his call
"Vive la Republique!" I heard loud and clear
As though Enjolras was standing right here
"Vive la Republique!" I heard his call
"And if I am to die, do not let our flag fall!
Carry it onward, carry it true,
Remember dear France it is carried for you!"
I'm sure that he never thought of someone as I,
Would come to his grave with tears in her eyes
Who's heart breaks with sorrow as I lay flowers down
As I lay flowers down upon the soft ground
Of the Earth where he's buried
Beneath earth and mud
Of the Earth where he's buried
Body and blood
A woman who cries when she hears of his name
And how he dreamed to light that great flame!
A woman who cries on the 5th of June
As the sun disappears and out comes the moon
Who cries because someone she loved so is gone
Who cries out "Oh,God, what have you done?"
We loved each other, he said no matter what our love will grow
Now he lies lonesome and dead beneath moonlight and snow
But it's not love of money
Nor is it love of heart
But it tis love of country that tears us apart
You died for your country
Don't deny it
You died for your country,
But now what of it?
You were so resilient, so stubborn, so sure
You knew your revolution was destined for failure
You were young, you were handsome, intelligent, and free
But all I can ask is "Why couldn't you see?"
I knew why he did it
I knew far too well
My love had tried to make France into Heaven
When France was Hell
I turned on my heel and started to leave
wiping my tears upon my sleeve
I felt a bit sadder than ever before
And I felt I should say just a little bit more
"I love and miss you ,monsieur!" I called
I didn't want to leave, on my knees I did fall
As I left, my heart was full of sad goodbyes
As tears streamed from my eyes
A tall, handsome blonde held the cemetery gate for me
I smiled, he nodded though I did not really see
The man I should have recognized in front of me
Preoccupied with slipping my love's old jacket back on
And when I looked Monsieur Enjolras was gone
And so was that tomb all flooded by the dawn!
