Remains

She saw the world crumble in front of her,

As the very foundations collapsed beneath.

She smiled standing amidst the wreckage,

For in ruins there is hope for a treasure.

And the lights go out on the empty stage.

Others play along even after the finale,

For their true show has only just begun.

Rue

"Will you forget me?", she asked.

"Never" he replied.

Because he had never memorised her.
