Bells By Rukia Abarai
There were bells that day
Ringing and dinging their sound
First at sweet weddings
Sounding an eternal code
Then at funerals
Sounding out lamentations
Bells will always be
Hate not their omnipotence
Enjoy them always
Blessed be the sound of these bells
Never have they failed
Ringing the tunes of our lives
There were bells that day
Recalling passion and love
Heard at the river
That summer day long ago
Heard them at the cliff
When our futures did unfold
Did you hear them then?
While I heard them loud and clear?
I knew it was you
Companion, friend… something more?
Did you feel it too?
But you just stood still that day
Watched us drift apart
Though you were still in my heart
There were bells that day
You came to fetch me one day
For execution
I'm not killed by your hands though
I get saved by friends
I'm thrown to you, you catch me
You carry me free
The bells are always ringing
But they don't ring now
They won't interrupt for now
Let the bells not ring
I'm gazing into you now
Let them be silent
I'm searching your eyes and soul
Love you forever
Gazing and searching for you
Don't go, stay awhile
The Society can wait
And now, wait it shall
And wait it must forever
There were bells that day
