Saving Myself

Contributor: Amanda Firefox

"Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were headed for shore.”
—Ray Bradbury


The rocks fell
The fire came
The ice covered everything

But I survived.
Without you,
I survived.
I thrived.

And you
You who left me
Here
You who left me
With nothing
You–

Didn't.
