Burning Forest Crypts

Bitterwar Treeblood (Bitterwartreeblood)

I was 16 when I died.

When I died, I saw brown eyes.

When I died, my killer forced his sword out of my chest.

My killer, was my best friend.

My killer, was Ewyn.

My other friend, Tyla, just stood there.

My other friend, Tyla, only watched.

Tyla, why did you not stop him?

Tyla, why did you stand there and just watch?

Ewyn, what did I do to make you do this?

Ewyn, what did I do to anger you?

Why at night after spending it watching M*A*S*H?

Why at night, when nobody was around?

Was it to get me alone?

Or was it to hide the evidence?

Was it because I did better than you in school?

Or was it because I cheated on a test in 10th grade?

Why me, I have no idea what I did to make you do this to me

Why me, Tyla has almost killed someone.

If it is because I insulted your brother, Gabe, I'm sorry.

Is it because I arrived two hours late to your graduation party?

If it makes you feel better, I fell off of a cliff with Tyla.

If it makes you feel better, I lost both of my parents before I was born.

Trust me when I say this, I learned that I shouldn't cheat by having someone else do it for you.

Trust me when I say this, don't let your pride get in the way of more important things.
