The World Is Over

A post-apocolyptic poem

Yesterday I saw the red wings of the grim reaper in the sky

Yesterday I saw the whole world die

And yesterday, don’t ask me why, I’m still alive alone to cry

 

The day before was Saturday

So the world ended on Sunday, a ‘holy’ day

And everyone had to pray

 

Today I was alone in here

In this new world empty of people but full of fear

And I wish I could follow the rest of you and disappear

 

Why did only I survive?

It’s just so lonely being alive

If only there was a world left to revive

 

Do I live in this hell or should I die?

If only I had a friend to stand by

But I can’t without someone to say goodbye

 

Maybe I’m not the only one

Maybe something’s just begun

Because I see a survivor Standing by the setting sun

hope you liked it. I was thinking of turning it into a prose but I'm not sure....

Love it. Hey you should read my "Soul Survivor" or better yet hear the song

Actually, I wrote this before I ever knew you or Infestation so :P

[Alex Vidmar]

Love it. But you seem to be kinda copying Infestation. :P

[Jesse Jacques]

good job with the rhyming. i always have a hard time rhyming things when the poem is lengthy

[Grace Catherine C.]

nice one lovey

[Nicholas Woode-Smith]

I enjoyed it and it got the message across. Most of the rhyming was good, but some came across a little cheesy. I wouldn't worry about it, however, as it is fine the way it is.
