out of the ruins
It began as a summer just like the rest Hopeful and filled with emotion Lovers enjoying their sweet conquests Pledging undying devotion He felt the warm winds encircle his heart; Softly, gently caressing all of his being Every part, his love for her was unending She was all that he dreamed of all of his life For her there was no other Happy were they as man and wife Happy were they that summer But all that it seemed was not meant to be, The world was lost in indifference And what began as a small incident ended up as hell Then without warning all that they knew Everything they'd been together was taken away, Swift and cruel on that terrible night in summer Out of the ruins he called her name Echoing over and over Silently waiting, but no one came Out of the ruins that summer But all that it seemed was not meant to be The world was lost in indifference And what began as a small incident ended up as hell Out of the ruins he walked alone Empty and broken forever With nothing left but the sweet memory.
