Origin of Man
The universe began when you entered my life
Hearts began to beat and blood began to course through our veins
There was nothing before this moment
The second your eyes fell to mine the oceans began to wave
The wind roared for the first time across the undisturbed ground
The first steps of man were taken when you greeted me
The circle of life was set in motion by your hello
The core of the Earth began to warm
The sun’s rays finally reached the distant mountain tops
The planets settled into orbit and outer space grew to infinity
The first stars began to shine and were reflected in your eyes
It was all I could do to stand there and watch as life began for the very first time
But where there is life, there is tragedy
The instant you began to walk away, magma jumped up from the Earth
The ground opened up and captured the delicate wildflowers
The clouds turned dark and lightning struck as your eyes left mine
The seas revolted and claimed the land for themselves
The creatures of the Earth began to still as their hearts turned to stone
The moment you turned, a hurricane rattled the world and left it broken and torn
The planets diverted from their course and collided in chaos
The stars shined too brightly in your eyes and slowly burnt out
It was all I could do to stand there and watch as life stopped for the very last time
There is nothing after this moment
The universe perished when you departed my life
