My name is Jamie.
I am five.
My parents think
I'm still alive.
One day after church
A man grabbed me and then
He pulled out a gun
And put it to my head.
"If what you say is true,
Then this boy won't die."
He pulled the trigger.
Mommy cried.
My parents were sad
For a very long time,
But eventually they decided
I was still alive.
Mommy prays for me.
She says I was "saved."
That I'll live forever
In a wonderful place.
I'm not sure what she means.
I'm still here.
I've been watching my parents
All these years.
They don't seem to hear me
And I don't think they can see
That I still live in our house
Just invisibly.

"Feel the breath slip away from the lung and let life fly away on its broken wings"
-NINTheFragile-
The last stanza is a beautiful closure, and the last line sums it all up in a very child-like attitude. But still, I loved the first stanza so much. It was captivating.
I also love the story portrayed, it is just as charming as it is gloomy. I have to +fav it, because it deserves it.
And one last thing - Happy new year ^^
