AN EARTHQUAKE OCCURRED by W. Mahlon PurdinThe world split in two.
Everything fell from the sky.
I was running for you.
There was nothing to do but die.
Every dream we shared
Our hopes imploding
No time to be scared
With the world exploding.
Then there was no sound
Then there was no light
Threads of life unwound
No wrong no right.
The world split in two.
Everything fell from the sky.
I was running for you.
There was nothing to do but die. 03/12/2011 Posted on 03/12/2011 Copyright © 2024 W. Mahlon Purdin

Posted by Eli Skipp on 03/15/11 at 07:35 PM These rhymes seem a little hackneyed and forced. |
