Pylades and OrestesDo you know what it's like?Pylades and Orestes by ~FatHobbitLover
Not many do.
To know his smile,
his laughter,
his drunken stupor.
To watch him joke,
tease,
sleep.
(Drink again.)
Do you know what it's like?
To know his fate.
Longing for the night
and dreading the morning that follows.
Hearing his voice,
his sorrow.
Listening to his bittersweet lament
as he realizes
what is to come.
Do you know what it's like?
Do you see it in your head,
when he falls
at the feet of his hero,
of his Orestes?
Do you see it
over
and over
and over again?
Do you see the red spray
as the bullets sink into his chest?
Do you hear the
thud
as he hits the floor?
Is it burne
