Shaila


Who remembers the beginning of such a story?

Three years, this day, it has fully been,

But of course it escaped his memory,

He being him.

And it pained me lots, but

I could do nothing,

His mind was shut.

Even though, for me, it still caused bells to ring

I could do nothing

An end came to this tragedy

Even though, for me, for me it still caused bells to ring;

It will never leave me.

An end came to the tragedy,

But, of course, it escaped his memory/

It will never leave me.

Who remembers the beginning of such a story?
