THE TELL

Did you get to know me
In the short time I was here
Did I speak too often of
My darkness and my fear

Did I find a way to tell you
How I loved them so
Did I get it done before
It’s time for me to go

I have spent what’s left of my life
Lost inside the tell
Trying to find a way to speak of
Those who fought and fell
