Ruins

Watch me go

so smooth and slow

Whispering low

what I did before

watch me stand

look down and drink to my eyes .

Ruins they built

old and full of dust

asking myself

what I have lost

what I've gained

from these places

I have left behind.

Thoughts drifting by

this city in my mind

these places hold me tight in their arms .

Ruins they built

old and full of dust

asking myself

how I got lost

what I've learned

from these places

I have left behind.

Stones and wood whispering

words long gone

Pass me by

make me wonder how come

how come I, I survived

this catastrophe

this catastrophe of you and me

my city .
