rome.

you can't conquer rome in a day
or in three years
is it fair to say i've crumbled
like the city did back then?
and i'm tripping on memories
of how i wanted this to be
visions of us in the remains
cause when i blink i only see what's left.
when i thought i couldn't do this without you
and here i am, leaving what i loved the most
to find something better?
if it exists... outside these city walls
now flattened and gone. no longer my home,
your smile, our hearts.
