Injustice between brothers left un-mended, with no chance left to reconcile
Will you forgive me in my memories?
For I can't turn back the hands of time
Haunted by questions of what could have been
Sorrow, shame, regret
Friendship defiled
The smoke settles as the echo fades
This quiet stillness is so peace less
Hopeless decision made in haste, leaving only numb” – the hand scrawled explanation
Why couldn't you have waited five more minutes?
Why couldn't I have spared five more of mine?
Who am I to she'd a tear?
The Hope I bear I bore inside
The silence shatters as the fall breaks
Lifetime reflection in a momentary decent
Tragic accident without warning left so many ends untied
Why couldn't I have said I'm sorry?
Why had I forsaken you?
Brotherhood I have defiled
The Love I bare I have denied
Brother against brother, selfish stubborn battle
Petty qualms fester deep, severing all ties
Principles borne to heart have all been pushed aside
Tragedy reveals this squandered wasted time
Great truths revealed through grave mistakes
Hard lessons learned through retrospect
Bite not the hand that has been offered
Deny not a hand to help another
Let bitter judgment fall the way of hate and embrace thy brethren
