Our Last Embrace

I reached up, brushed the hair from his face

As I melted into his embrace

The sky was hidden from our view

As the volcano began to spew

Ash and soot filled the sky

I held him tight, we both cried

I tried to comfort this man I love

As fireballs fell from up above

I knew that the end was near

Trying hard to show no fear

The volcano’s wrath finally found the place

Where we clung to our last embrace.
