Nuclear Winter

         As I stand here amongst the ruins of
           what once was our garden of eden
              That special little world
               we had created together

              For five wonderful years
                  we had endured
                good times and bad

              and the bond between us
                  became so strong
         I was sure it could never be broken

                 And then It happened

                      You said

              Maybe we should separate

     With those words I found myself at ground zero
      In an instant my dream of our life together

                       Was gone

                   Our garden of eden
               is now a barren wasteland
              in which I aimlessly wander
               The skies are always gray

                       chaos
                      madness

                 My worst nightmare
                      is alive
                        and

                     SCREAMING

I felt this right down to the pit of my stomach...heart wrenchingly devastating.

wow. damn that is good. the title suggests nothing of the content in the poem, it is wonderful, unexpected, surprising, I like.

This was SO wretched and aching. It nearly brought me to tears. I could see the darkening of this heaven and the opening of hell. BEAUTIFULLY done. My fav of yours. -Glass

Cool stuff - I liked the end the most. "The big one" seemed to kill the mood mid-poem, though, it sounds too... crude, I guess? Anyway, great write.
