It All Falls

101 4 3
                                    

Mottled bricks compose my curtain wall

The twisted cracks run long and deep

Strong it once stood, now I fear its fall

From the gouges my silent cries gently seep

Breaking under the pressing force

My sturdy keep is failing

If I let nature take its course

Will I end up prevailing?

The moss and vines edge in their grip

Trying to take their piece of the glory

For when my blood begins to drip

Who else will tell my story?

These old weathered stones cannot take much more

Before they crumble into the downtrodden dust

If only I could flee to some calm distant shore

Where I will be free of this vicious bloodlust

The ceiling is already falling atop my head

I fear there is no way out of this self-made tomb

Will I find the courage to survive, or am I already dead?

This frightful melody may be spelling my doom
