To each.
By TheDismantled
so i say,
to those who would listen
i am only a memory,
nothing more.
so therefore i eclipse god as a notion.
whisper to your children, this
the lullaby of the fallen;
what are we?
and what is our existence?
we were glad to die,
so we're pleased to be of the fallen.
to each
that live,
it is our breath we miss.
to each
that sleep, i pray you never have to wake.
and to each
that dream......
well,you have our sympathies.

Very butter-if-full. We are glad to have died, and we are pleased to be of the fallen. Powerful write my friend, tis about god-damned time you post shit- To dream is a worth to die for - To die is a worth to sympathize for. Excellent.
