17:The Last Standing

The worlds collide

The days are dark

Awaiting a spark of light that will never come.

Silence prevails on the streets

Not a laugh is heard

Things have gone out of hand, they've taken the wrong turn.

A bell rings just around the corner

Signalling for the oncoming agony

A boy hugs his mother who loves him dearly.

The wave will rush by

Things will be shook

But after that is when it comes

That will pin them by the hook.

It's the anticipation

The waiting for tomorrow

The conjured thoughts that kill us

Because we won't know.

Wrong we have comitted

But good we have done

We cannot lie and await

For the sun to come.

The little girl shakes her curls

She hums to a favourite tune

She's not worried about that dagger

That only time will loom.

He cries harder and harder

He fears he'll let go

His neighbourhood is silent

He's numb in the snow.

While she sits at the windowsill

Imagining of rainbows with gold in tow

She's that spark which will ignite the fire

The last in the race who has a desire

To live,to laugh, to love

She's the last standing

While the others have gone long down below...

A/N: To not letting the probabilities of tomorrow getting the best of us. For that guiding light which WILL come in the depths of your despair....to holding onto HOPE when everybody around you has given up.

Let not the darkness bite you...
