One Image

Darkness around me

No sight to see

Silence around me

No sound to hear

Emptiness around me

No touch to feel

I am alone

Deep inside a bird flutters

Pulling at the thumping organ in my chest

Deep inside a gun fires

Killing the hope that dared stir inside

I am empty

I am forgotten

One image stays in my mind as I am starved of my senses

One image lives on even as my sanity is lost

One image keeps on living deep within my skull

Six brothers and me

One image
