Water Wall
It started with a sight
Seep seep seep
Then there was a sound
Drip drip drip
Then there was the smell
Salt salt salt
Then I could feel between my toes
Wet wet wet
Then the roof was caving in
Dent dent dent
Then the walls collapsed
Hit hit hit
But the clock proceeded to
Tick tick tick
I could see through the window
Growing growing growing
The water was rising
Higher higher higher
We were trapped, I panicked
Run run run
I fled through the door
Faster faster faster
And jumped in Rosaline’s car so we
Waited waited waited
For my parents to come
Please please please
And we waited but the water was attacking
Help help help
We couldn’t wait longer we
Sped sped sped
And my stomach dropped and I
Screamed screamed screamed
With all my heart with everything in me
Mommy mommy mommy
I convulsed and wailed
Daddy daddy daddy
But the tsunami swallowed them
Oh oh oh
And I never forgave myself
Never never never
The juice tasted of corpses that night
Agony agony agony.
