Pompeii
November 4, 2013
If I lost you
If you left me
My world would burn
And I could not flee
Ashes like snowflakes
Would fall to the ground
Smothering my sorrow
To try and make it drown
And this city would fall
If I ever lost you
Because you make me whole
You know that you do.
The sky would
Set itself alight
Blanketed by ashes
The city would burn bright
From the sky
Fire would fall
And like my misery
It would consume all
So beware the day
Should you ever depart
Because havok would be wrought
By this broken heart

I love your poem. The rhyming was perfect and done in just the right fashion! Quite honestly, I don't usually like other writers' works so much but you did a really good job with this. :)
