I am Sorry
Remember me?
From that night at the party?
Some time last year?
How could you forget?
We had drunk too much.
You had stumbled away.
I sat by the fire.
You did not come back.
I went into the woods.
To throw up on my own.
And that's when I saw it.
What He had done.
You were on the ground.
Your skirt past your knees.
He was still there.
I ran away.
I am so sorry.
but I would have come back.
I think I might
have tried to kill Him.
But as I tried,
You met me half way.
Took me into the house.
And took the knife from my hand.
And with that same knife
with which I would have killed
you opened your wrists
and collapsed on the floor.
We sat there for hours.
I clenched at the wound.
And begged the blood to stop.
Remember me now?
You were just thirteen.
I was twelve.
When He took you.
Both too young.
I am sorry.
