Fallen Ones

As dawn rose, 
coughing blood blew out, 
and cells decomposed. 
I, the Octa, or the circle of eight characters 
who carried my own memories 
and seven other characters’, 
remained confused 
by life as I tasted its sorrow, 
and time passed by.

While grieving for unfair death, 
I made my way into the cemetery. 
I carried the world’s disgrace.

Feeling that the world was colder
than fear itself in a sense, 
I hoped to show this existence: 
that killing each other is no better 
than just action like a rightful penalty, 
and, being a messenger, 
I should start over.
