Nuclear Love

Antonia Garrah

The feeling of joy bursts out of me A feeling so strong like the nuclear bomb It radiates and impacts on sight In your embrace, I found my light A beacon of hope burning bright But over time, it fades and darkness comes out Scars, bruises, and its true colors show I slowly get sicker as time ticks by The truth, the lies It was thought to be a hope But now I just lay here and die alone

A Distant Memory

Antonia Garrah

A deathly ill empty space Avoidance A vacant place A misshaped box Broken and torn Years beyond to be fixed Completely destroyed Echoes of distant relatives Laughs, cries, yells

A place that used to be home Is just a reminder of a dark past That should just be left alone
