The boy sat awake in my arms
My hands covered his ears
I was the boys protector
I shielded the boy
And I have the battle scars
I shushed the boy to sleep
But the girl ran in
It rang through my ears
Her words
Call 911
The man came in and pulled her away
I held it in my hand
And dialled the number
But not the one she said
I couldn't
I waited till it finished
But it never did
It happened every night
I protected the boy
But no one protected me
The arrows hit my back
And never the boy
Now I have scars on my arms
And heart
I protected the boy
S.I
