The End

Most of the city had fallen,
The earth so brutal it shook.
The buildings cried and wailed as they fell.
Their ashes then rose like dust.
Day was now night,
Sunshine was shadow.
The bustling city went silent.

He searched for her.
He searched.
She was his life, his lover, his best friend.
He held her for the last time.
Her warmth had gone.
The sky tinted, and darkness would come.
He was ready.

He had climbed and climbed,
This man who survived.
All he could feel was despair.
I am my beloved and my beloved is mine.
He bowed his head with tears.
No more tomorrows, no more bright days,
Then he shook and he cried and he wailed as he fell.
