A Legend Falls

Elegy To Empathy

A Legend Falls


The daylight fades. 
I close my eyes. 
This pains me more than you will know 
I hold it inside. 
This is the end of me. 
I've become all I can bear to be. 
This is that which I can't undo. 
From me to you. 
From me to you. 
I'm sorry. 
All empathy. 
This is that which I can't undo. 
This is my apology to you. 
Your silence takes me whole. 
I'm standing alone. 
This is the end of me. 
I've become all I can bear to be. 
This is that which I can't undo. 
This is my apology to you. 
I'll break my word as you broke my heart. 
I apologize for being everything you never wanted me to be 
and so I stand here and scream 
at those who made me be 
for allowing me to live this fate. 
This is my elegy. 
He was a good man. 
He was a simple quiet man. 
He always kept to himself. 
He always kept to himself. 
Well he was a good man. 
So much to understand. 
He always kept to himself. 
Why'd you keep to yourself? 
This is my elegy.
