The Fate of Pompeii
542
your serpentine eyes
like the darkest of skies are on you
and the deadliest days
are digging a grave to hold you

I am young but I feel so old
walk through life with both eyes closed
stay behind and give up hope
why can't life just let me go?

you call to the sky
but the blackest of plagues
won't claim you
you'd give up your life,
but it's taking it's time to mame you.

like the coldest wind
on unclothed skin
like your closest friend
won't see you again
when your only chance
has come and past
when you want to cry
but every eye is on you.

it's been so long I can't recall
I feel nothing at all
my last breath was lost on your lips
and I can't breath, can't breath

so now we pretend
that the blackest of sins won't
change us
and it calls from within
but you won't take the time to save us.
