What Has Been Lost

I took her hands within my own

Listen to me I cried

Tears streaked her face

I closed my eyes

For a moment

And she escaped my grasp

And turned away from me

I reached for her

But I drew my hand back

Not sure what to do

She turned back toward me

And ran into my arms

As I put my arms around her

I felt a sharp pain

Within my side

She pulled away

And I looked down

At my blood stained clothes

To where a knife pierced

Deep within my side

I looked back at her

And tried to speak

She pulled out the knife

And blood poured out

I sank to my knees

As she stabbed me again

This time in my cheek

Quickly I pulled out the knife

As she looked at me in horror

Realizing what she had just done

A bloody tear rolled down my face

I placed my hand on her cheek

As tears rolled into my palm

I grimly smiled at her

Not being able to will myself to speak

I closed my eyes

As more blood seeped out through my  wounds

Drenching my clothes and staining the floor

Time seemed to slow as I fell to my side lifeless
