LAST NIGHT

By Alexandra Erin

(Inspired by a writing prompt found here: http://poetryprompts.tumblr.com/post/129936319141/prompt )

We sat and watched the stars come out,

then watched them go away.

They fell down one by one

as the sky turned dusty gray.

The end had come, we knew at last

we’d reached the final scene,

unraveling the final thread

from one last fatal skein.

Nothing we lost mattered

as much as you to me.

The night is gone, the world is done.

There’s nothing left to see.
