Shattered Dreams

The pain of loss burns as if the fire from a black dragon, or the heat from a scolding stove.

The salty tears fall like hail, and hit hard like bullets Against the shoulders of loved ones.

The screams of pain and agony scratch like nails on the chalkboard of my mind.

Staring, watching as friends and family disappear one by one, blows me away like a tornado in a dark storm, sitting anxiously to claim its next victim.

As I stood there, peering into the darkness, i pondered which of my loved ones it would claim next.

Before I realized who would be next, it was far too late, and i had already joined my loved ones.
