Everything Gone
Mud and grass
I crawl and run up it
Behind, the monster roars
I collapse to the ground
Turning
I face the monsters wrath
I take my friend’s hand
And together
We watch the monster
It leaps unto my town
Clawing, Eating
People running from its jaws
Over and over
they are all too late
Its jaws snatch them all
Gone
I see my house,
The monster pounces,
My house engulfed
Gone
My family
Gone
Screams and roaring water fill my ears
Then the screams stop
They were Gone.
Now I scream
Beating my fists into the mud
Just me and my friend left
We wait, despairing
Dripping tears
We embrace each other,
the last thing left of our life
The rest
a waste of wreckage
Just each other
And our fragmented memories remain
All else is gone
Gone

My poem is about someone who runs up a hill with their friend and watches their town and family be engulfed by water.
