The End, Part 4

Iridescent dust from a million shattered stars

Settled around us, choking and strangling.

Each moment seemed like an eternity,

Each day was an endless hell to me,

And it seemed like you and I were alone.

You were my lifeline, connected by a hand,

As the terror raged around us,

The looting, the killing, the burning.

Nightmares cloud my eyelids but

Just as you promised,

I am never alone.
