Our Last Adieu

Submission for poem about this picture. (: Tell me what you think! Review, review, review!

The world ends today.

The grand finale.

Nothing left to say.

Stage left, final exit.

The culmination of a world so destroyed,

So tattered and worn,

That there was nothing left, anyway,

No smile a face could adorn.

Materialism, racism, bigotry, hate.

Was this all that could be said of our legacy?

Rightly so it would end on this date.

With a sky so dark, a world so cold and lost.

Not a soul to be seen

But you and me.

From the sky to the earth is a beam of light

I hold you close, I hold you tight.

I lean forward for one last kiss

Before what is sure to be eternal abyss.

Light bursts into flame

Violent and blinding.

A wall of dust and debris.

Blown back, I cling to your arm.

The wall growing, speeding hungrily toward us.

I look out on the desolate and lonesome streets.

Nowhere to run.

No way to hide.

My dear friend, this life was fun.

We say our final goodbye.

Adieu, my love.

I catch your eye.

In the cool reflection I see myself

Consumed by the great wall, until I am no more.
