Rome on Fire

I’m staring at the wall
Thoughts dried up like desert sand
I fall
Time means nothing anymore
The clocks have simply stopped
I drop
Curious child, shallow mind
When will we meet again?
And will we still be friends?
Check the footprints in the sand
It all got out of hand
Now you say it’s not yourself
You just turned to someone else
You are laughing
And you’re kissing me goodbye
Tousled playmates on the shelf
You keep shouting 'Rome's on fire'
Indifferent
But now and then
You panic for a while
