Nightmares

He stood in the silence
The dead city greeted him
The walls were falling
No one cried as they fell

Their only hero stood
He felt like he was dreaming
‘None of this could be real’
He thought as he stood in silence

The city flashed, then it left
The young hero screamed
As he felt the pain of
The ones he couldn’t save

He passed out like an old drunk
Scared of his own shadows
He awoke to the sound of
His city alive and well
