Please don't leave me. don't you leave to.
You said that it would be alright, that I would not have to see this.
You said that t would not be this bad, that the fire would not kill everyone.
Its gone, everything is all gone.
Why did you lie to me. Why did you tell me it would be fine.
Nothing is fine. Its all gone, you're gone.

Soon it will me my turn, right?
Soon I will not have to watch every die, right?
I can't watch anymore, but I can’t leave either.

One day I was talking to one of my friends (who also is a writer) about some of my work, and how I did not know what to wright about. He suggested to me that I wright a piece about a dinosaur who is watching everyone around him die. Depressing, yes, but I took the idea and went from there.
