Now a Wasteland

I am on this planet, alone

the earth crumbling under my feet

the sun close, smothering the land

the oceans depleted

this world is no place for the living

every building lay in ruins

the roads cracked

air filled with heat

even though I live

I can’t be alone

not in this world of destruction

this planet is about to end

and I don't want to be alone

waiting for the sun to burn everything

as trees catch fire

the streets turn into lava

the land forms into a barren place

filled with nothing

except me, the immoral being

forced to live eternity

forever alone on this barren wasteland

Author's Note

Based on a book, an immortal surviving the planet's demise
