there's a ruined city in me
where friends and family
from our history
have passed away
where the good and bad memories of us
are cemented secrets
and the life we built
brick by brick
now is buried under layers of dirt
there are beautiful skies
that grace my city
time has seen to it
that it's well preserved
in case i ever decide to visit
to dig up our memories
and cast a prayer
so the gods
will safeguard
what our love built
and what was swallowed up
by your sins
