It Should Have Been Me

The yellow specks haunt my dreams,

The fields of them,

They surround and suffocate me,

Just like the ashes and smog,

The towering inferno of our fate,

The unbearable heat that melts our flesh,

The ever lasting screams

And that contorted look on your face,

It all still haunts my dreams to this day,

It should have been me,

It shouldn't have been you,

Dear sister it should have been me,

The heavy guilt weighs me down,

I wish I could forgive myself,

Even if you were still here and forgave me,

I don't think I could ever forgive myself,

The rising inferno consumes us,

Your body melts and turns to a wisp,

You give a solemn smile,

A silent farewell

As you throw me out the window,

It should have been me,

It shouldn't have been you.
