Raise your hand if you lost your home
after it was taken by a bomb
Raise your hand if shrapnel became the closest thing to your heart
when your home was taken by the bomb
Raise your hand if your eyes saw diamonds and demons
when the shrapnel tore through their irises
Raise your hand if your throat burned and burst
like the bomb that was busy taking all you had
Raise your hand if your skull collapsed
with the roof along with your lungs
Raise your hand if you were ever a child
and thought that you knew loss
