The Fallen

Au Revoir, or see you later
She said, eager at the door
She never thought from that time on
She'd see her child, no more
Her smiling face
Her sparkling eyes
She never will forget
Just one more hug 
Just one last kiss
She'll live with the regret
A croissant and a coffee
A glass of wine or two
Good day old friend
How are you?
Their world then splits in two

For the innocents who perished at a disco in France, in the name of religious bigotry . . . and those yet to fall!
