The darkness of that room,
when the lights shut off,
and I feel all alone.
I look out the window,
nothing is there but
the silhouettes of trees.
CRACK.
Another bolt of lightning,
I can see for but a moment,
then sight leaves me once more.
We can’t see even each other’s hands,
and I can only feel my brother’s warmth,
as we snuggle up against each other in fear.
