After watching episode 25, I was so touched that I felt I needed to write something for him. Based on the anime, this one's for you L.
Bells
Can you hear them?
The sound of bells.
They're calling so very loudly.
.
The rain feels heavy.
Why does it weigh me down so?
Why are my eyes so...heavy?
.
I'm tired,
So very tired.
For the first time in years,
I want to sleep.
.
Am I truly awake to the world?
Or simply trapped in a hazy dream.
Where I feel as if I'm in control,
Yet aren't.
.
I'm aware of everything around me.
I know that they're all fleeting.
Yet still I trudge onward,
Into the arms of fate herself.
.
Circles.
I move in circles.
Travelling so many miles,
Yet never moving a single inch.
Constantly, always, forever.
.
If time flies when you're having fun,
Surely it can still run when you're not.
No,
It doesn't run,
It sprints.
But then it stops to catch it's breath,
And that's when you suffer.
.
My time; my little sprinter, has crossed the line.
It hasn't won, It hasn't lost.
.
But I knew.
I've always known.
That when I hear the sound of bells,
Yes, calling so very loudly,
They're calling for me.
