Constantinople
Something was creeping down there
Like a thunderbolt
I was perplexed
Suddenly I went stone-blind
A hefty feeling down there
A unbearable torment in a second
Was it a delusion?
I went cold, Slain
Slowly a shriek was reverberating
I tried to close my ears
But I was frozen
What was that?
An exodus of emotions
I tried to scream, all in vain
A checkmate
Bleary eyes, I went numb
Why me? Why me?
My world stood still
Seconds felt like a lifetime
Everything perished in the blink of an eye
Will anyone hear me?
My heart sank
I could sense that I was breathing
But for how long?
Endless mist, gloom of death
Gaziantep, a pile of rubble
Veni,vidi,vici
