Totally Alone

It was another terrible day,
but with a little difference…

the time 18:41,
the tremors started to grow
and increase
to become in an earthquake
In that moment I was
writing in my old computer
here is very common the tremors
and earthquakes..

However, I had never passed
an earthquake like this one /

I turned off the pc and I looked
For my house keys..
Suddenly, my mind
looked back at my life
from my childhood until now
“I gonna die”
“if it happens, my sad soul
will be on the loose” I thought /

When I got my keys
I had to go outside,
there, all the neighbours
were screaming, in panic /

The earthquake’s tremors
were increasing and raising/
I was just looking
around me all the things
that were happening/

The lights of the city disappeared,
The line phone was dead,
There wasn’t light,
There wasn’t phone

They were almost three minutes
of panic and horror /
The screams of the people
were so load,
It was when I noticed about something :
All the people outside
were in panic
but, they were together
I could see families,
couples,
siblings, taking their hands,
protecting themselves,
hugging themselves /

So, by my side
I was totally alone,
lacking of someone
who gives me a huge
in order to be calm down /

I was the only one
who was alone,
solo, with myself…
….because I live by myself

That is my reality
I was totally alone……

……I’m totally alone /
