Reaching Voice & Unreachable With A Voice
Her song rang softly as she cradled her superior against her chest. Her commander, her friend, her partner, her lover, her flame, her heart was dying.
"Sleep to the heavens, blessed upon thee, the angels with their halos, shining for all to see."
It was the most beautiful voice he had ever heard, a voice that can be matched of that of an angel. He never heard her sang before. Too bad he wouldn't live to hear it again. Too bad…too bad… He gazed up with regretting eyes as she looked back with teary ones.
"The diamonds in the sky, twinkle without shame, the angels are coming, coming to relieve your pain."
It only took them one look to know what each other was thinking.
"They've come to dance, their hands outstretched all day, their wings flapped in great arcs, they've come to bring you away."
They both knew it was his time to go. His time to say goodbye. His time to get taken by the angels from high above.
"A lost little girl, helpless and lonely, her flame was almost distinguished, warm yet weak. She didn't want to say goodbye, she tried to protect her flame, No not yet - she cried, it was all just a game."
He tried to say something in response but she placed a finger against his pained mouth and continued her song. She needed to get her message through.
"The angels were ignorant, they won't accept her plea, they wanted to take her flame, they want to take the it from…me."
Her song wasn't done yet and so was her message. But he knew his time has really come and he had to end her song. "I love you Riza." He said with his last breath. Never would and never will his onyx eyes open up again.
She sat there and continued to cradle his head. Her head nodded nonstop as fresh tears flowed down her pale cheeks. I love you too… she thought. Nonetheless, she continued her song to the silent.
"A lost little girl, helpless and lonely, they accepted her flame, and rejected her plea...She wanted to say she loved him, but they took him away too without delay, she wanted to spend her days with him, but they still didn't let him stay…good-bye Roy…" She sobbed.
Of course he couldn't hear her for the angels have won. She knew this but she said it anyway.
