~*~

When the sky closed
over her eyes.
She sobbed in rebellion
and slashed out in rage.
The fire burned the world,
and ate civilization
Leaving nothing,
but a crying little girl.

Her last fear confirmed,
she was left alone,
nothing, with no one,
and nowhere to call home.
Her existence was the ashes,
her solace the sky.
The fire her rain,
and her future the dead.
Her past the grey.

The silver glints in the dark,
a remnant from before.
She kneels to use it, one last time...
no one lives here anymore.
