I've Dug This Grave For Us My Dear

"i love you"

..
.
screaming . . . yelling . . . crying?

is all that I heard as the explosions went off

it seemed like we could find shelter but as time passed the more people started disappearingi didnt know if it was from the explosions or from finding shelter but it was just me and my dad

we hid in the only safe place we could findand so there we were

huddled together in a small room just waiting

waiting for shouting
waiting for any sound other than the explosions going off in the distance
waiting to go back to our everyday lives

but suddenly it all went black
i could hear a heartbeat

my father, voice strained and hurt said
"i love you"

his right arm fell limp across his leg
i could hear his heartbeat start to slow down

i backed away slightly to see that my fathers face

it was lifeless but with a hint of a smile that was gradually fading
blood spilling from his mouth and dripping onto my face

Dad.

Dad?

DAD!?
DAD!!!!!

i cried

and i cried
and i cried

and i cried

and i cried

and i cried
and i cried
and i cried
and i cried
and i cried

and then I screamed 

it was like white noise had filled my brain in place of my racing thoughts and the sounds of my screams

and then it all stopped and it went black
but this time without my father or anyone not even myself
