A peal of bells fades.

A peal of bells fades.

There was not

a twinkle in your eye,

as there was in the sky,

nor a fast beat from the heart

from a brand new start.

There was just sadness,

I could not mend.

In your empty shell,

hollow echoes, bells;

you the bell ringer

hanging on to hope,

your song in decline,

fades.
