Gone
Everything is gone
The Light comes and steals like a thief
All that is valuable snatched with ease and
I am left
bleeding
Blinded
Buckling under the weight of my skin
Stretched so thin that it becomes
foreign to my eye
The heat is so hot it burns
So bright it sears
I can’t see my tears
She told me to run
Nana told me to go
as fast as my legs could take me
But my feet have never gone so far
from home
Far from sister
Sister
Why am I the one who made it and not my
Sister
She spoke better than I ever could
Nana told her all the stories
Nana taught her the Ways
Nana sung her the songs
and taught her the magic
I only watched from afar
Eyes and ears too imperfect
I only catch echoes of everything
like an empty room
I hold nothing
I am nothing compared to her
Yet I’m the only one running
She would be quicker
Be Faster
Better
She could warn the others better
She wouldn’t stutter or stop
The Light should have taken me
Why did it take everything of worth from my home?
Why would it leave me?
I am not even good enough to die with them…
I wasn’t even good enough to cry for them…
Maybe this is my punishment…
Sentenced to life
