If I called before the end, would you come?

The bombs are falling
Dark, hot, echoing

Enveloping me
Abba screaming
His flesh burning
Mine drowning

He disappears
I cannot hear him
Frozen.
Waiting

White light
another wave of hell explodes
And arms pull me away

My feet crunch into the crumbling earth
toes scraped and bruised
legs pulling themselves away
before they melt

We take shelter
Amma and I 
Watching 
Aasman jalta hai

We call out to God
Praying for the sky to stop
crumbling

We call out to you
to end the fire

I bury my face in Amma's warmth
a ticking warmth

Dust rains down
I am screaming

But 
it bounces off the walls
coming back to haunt me

No one listens
I am alone
