Just something that came to mind when I read a piece of my friends work.

And there I was
All I could do was look at her
I couldn't speak
I couldn't feel my body on myself.

It was like the whole world
Had collapsed and I
Was the last one Standing.
The only one standing.

But when I opened my mouth to speak
I did nothing but cry
I watched the buildings burn and crumble
But I still couldn't speak

Shock overwhelmed me
And I lost my balance
And before I knew it
I was one of them.
