Words of the Wastes

by Cottonheadninnymuggins

You've uncovered a journal, containing a collection of poems inspired by Fallout, the Wasteland and the lessons that the apocalypse can teach us. Created from the point of view of my OC, a settler named Misty who's lost everything except her younger brother, and her desire to write.

4. Couplets - Your Button Nose

Your button nose, your rosy cheeks,

The spark in your eyes when somebody speaks,

Your kindly tone, your loyal ways,

The conversations that could last for days.

Your smiling lips, your caring eyes,

The determination, give it a thousand tries,

Your understanding tone, your comforting talk,

The little spring in your step as you walk.

Your delicate gaze, your pretty gold ring,

The flutter in your voice whenever you sing,

The joy that you held, the smiles you brought,

And yet they shot you with no second thought.
