Empty

A solitary figure stands, one foot braced against a rock. Arms loose at its sides. A calm expression, hiding inner turmoil.

//There’s a grief that can’t be spoken
There’s a pain goes on and on
Empty chairs at empty tables
Now my friends are dead and gone//

Thousands of faces flitting through a tortured memory. Eyes lift towards the heavens, tears forced away. A simple release denied through years of training.

//Here they talked of revolution
Here it was they lit the flame
Here they sang about 'tomorrow'
And tomorrow never came//

A single face, a single memory, cause a sharp intake of breath. Breathing becomes more labored. Still the tears are repressed.

//From the table in the corner
They could see a world reborn
And the rose with voices ringing
I can hear them now
The very words that they had sung
Became their last communion
On the lonely barricade at dawn!
Oh my friends, my friends. Forgive me
That I live and you are gone//

Another memory shakes the figure slightly. A dark memory, of multiple magical explosions. A scream ripped from a throat in a moment of weakness. A blinding flash of light, blazing endlessly through the mind, taking with it all the people ever loved or even hated.

//There’s a grief that can’t be spoken
There’s a pain goes on and on
Phantom faces at the window
Phantom shadows on the floor//

Dark hair swirls in the wind, stirring memories of another with hair of messy brown and the temperment of the wolves. Thoughts return to that first face and memory. A soft sob catches in the throat and eyes blink rapidly.

//Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will meet no more
Oh my friends, my friends, don’t ask me
What your sacrifice was for//

A hand raises slowly, a simply to brush impatiently at watering eyes. A sign of weakness that none should ever see. Turning from the ruins of a once proud academy of learning the figure shakes it's head sadly as a multitude of ghosts swarms through it's memory.

//Empty chairs at empty tables
Where my friends will sing no more.//

"Forgive me Headmaster I failed you and him!"
