my bed was shaking
my house was shaking
everything was crumbling.
Through my windows
I saw red clouds of smoke
on the the horizon
blotting out the sun.
The power went out,
but I didn't care
until I realized
that she wasn't with me.
I ran downstairs
frantically searching
clawing at the darkness
straining my eyes.
The world was about to end
I looked everywhere
but I couldn't find her.
Then everything was bright
then everything was dark
and then I couldn't think.
I was nothing
and I was alone.
