i witnessed a world end

JuneM

I witnessed the world ending

Slowly at first, but

So violent and heartrending

Space fabric was cut

First went the once peaceful fields

Of the softened Earth

Cracks opening wide, jagged teeth

Hissing, "no self worth"

Winds ripped trees from their firm roots

Water climbed to skies

Salty, like the tears I cried

Hopes stamped down by boots

Scorching suns burned the surface

Volcanic ash fell

There was no hope or love left

Nothing but darkness

After being bottled up

For years way to long

The most lethal thing, of course

Was the core all along

It lashed out, emotional fury

As it ripped apart

Its own pained failing heart

The last dying beats

A dirge for the destruction

Of my ripped world set aflame

And when I opened my eyes

From my restless rest

And stepped outside

I saw the other outside world,

And it was perfectly fine

Everything was still normal

But not my heart and I
