In the blink of an eye,
A sudden flash appeared,
Then darkness swallowed everything around me.
Debris rained down upon us,
The choking dust filled my lungs,
And silence crept in like a ghost,
Broken only by faint voices
Barely able to utter words.
We were trapped beneath the rubble,
Unable to move,
Unable to escape.
My sun had set,
And my moon’s voice drifted from afar,
Whispering broken farewells.
My stars could not withstand
The merciless rockets
And the razor-sharp shrapnel.
They were scattered into countless pieces.
I screamed with all my strength,
But my universe could neither hear
Nor answer
It had become deaf and mute.
Then, from somewhere in the distance,
A rescuer’s voice echoed:
“Is anyone still alive?”
I wished I had gone with them,
Closing the sorrowful chapter of my life forever.
But destiny decreed
That I should remain alone.
Who will make my sun rise again?
Who will bring my moon back to my sky?
Who will let my star-like siblings
Dance around me like butterflies once more?
I am the only survivor,
Wandering through this dark and unjust universe,
Stumbling onward
Without my family.
