Emerald hues still young in soul and heart
Dark eyes older than they appear in mind
Fates chance meeting between two lost souls
Friends in childhood, strangers in adult
Misplaced words, unforgiven past
A broken heart that will forever last
Tragic hero never named
Fallen villain only through blame
Answers revealed but only too late
A statue stands in a burnt up place
Time of old dwindling away
Happy lives seem far from true
For neither survived to see it through
Shadows of children fade into nothing
Unlike the memories of the fallen
Carried on through those they touched
For good or bad or in between
When fate gives in and death takes hold
Those tragic heros lead into the unknown
And vanish from this life, final breaths are told
For those who met by chance, separated by fault
Reunite once again as friends in deaths cold grip
