Please comment, it really helps! :3 Hope you enjoy.","content":"_The End of the World_\n\nWalking down the hard sidewalk  \nWhile it's pouring down rain  \nHolding the umbrella tight, holding it close  \nShivering because it's cold\n\nYou're waiting for the sun to come out  \nYou know it has to, it has to come out again  \nUnless it's the end of the world\n\nHowever, that's too unlikely  \nThat the lonely walk on cold concrete  \nWearing soggy tennis shoes  \nWill be your last\n\nOr will it?\n\nWhat if today is the last day you take a walk?  \nWhat if today is the last day you hold your loved one  \nOr go for a drive, or do anything you want.  \nYou thought that the sun would come up again  \nAnd now you're not so sure\n\nThe bright sun that shines it's light on all the buildings  \nAll the people, the entire city, the entire world  \nWhat if it stays behind those dark grey clouds?\n\nWhat if the sun just blinks out like a light  \nAnd the world goes cold.  \nWe all know that everything has an end.  \nOr so we think.  \nSome say that the end of one thing  \nIs the beginning of another.\n\nThose people don't know the fear  \nOf not seeing the sun  \nCome out again from the dark gray clouds.\n\nAs hard as it is sometimes  \nYou have to believe  \nThat the sun will come out again  \nFor what else is there to believe?\n\n~bhscorch\n\n[![Creative Commons License](http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-nd/3.0/88x31.png)](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/)\n\n\"The End of the World\"\u0026nbsp;by bhscorch is licensed under a\u0026nbsp;[Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported License](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/).\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Poetry","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/522037-poem-85-journey-through-a-life-once-lived.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/571474-poem-87-living-in-a-fantasy.json"}}
