Nothing

 

I’m still breathing

but that is not enough

to feel alive.

 

I lost my loved ones.

I lost my power, hope, dreams,

and my last tears.

 

Nothing can express

the pain of losing the people

who were a main part of my life.

 

Nothing can erase

the last look at them

from my eyes.

 

Nothing can stop

replaying our memories

before Israel took them away.

 

And nothing

can let me imagine

moving forward with my life

after them.

 

Editor‘s Note: Ahmed Dremly is from Gaza City. Through its bombing, Israel killed his best friend, nine of his cousins, an uncle, and other friends and family members who are still under the rubble.
