The sky above her is now shadowed in darkness
The warmth of the sun is now gone
There is a chill in the air
It is safe to come out and take a chance
The light reflected by the moon is bright
Tree limbs now alive with shadowed light
She sees the stars-light from the distant past
Long forgotten destroyed planets splayed against the sky
There is a distant memory – just remembered
Of a girl with a dream – one who wished upon a star
Whose eyes were once bright with wonder and awe
With a desire for life and passion filling her every moment
Another memory takes its place
Darkness consuming the earth in a flash
Ships taking those who could leave away from disaster
An exclusive club; one she did not belong to
Left behind to fend for herself; frantic and alone
She managed for a short time until she met him
Together they forged a new life
In the now wasted earth
Living in darkness; in the bowels of the earth
The only safe place for those left behind
They grew accustomed to the lack of light
A necessity of the new life
Hair that was golden and filled with light
Is now gnarled and grey, full of knots
Her skin no longer soft but leathery and tight
Her days of youth long gone
Throwing out the bones that were his
His flesh long gone from them
His death was her survival
She survived as she never thought she could
The light of day fast approaching
She crawls back into the earth
Reminding her that once again
She was left behind
