I'm Here

Another kick in the gut. A punch in the stomach. A slap on the face. I felt hot, fat tears stream down my face. I was so tired. I just wanted to let go. But when I felt his punches cease, I opened my eyes. There stood a boy with the ice-blue eyes, eyes that were like windows to his soul, staring at me with a bloody knife in his hand. My attacker with curled up in a little ball on the cold ground, clutching his arm. I knew he wouldn’t die. So I let the boy pick me up, and carry me somewhere. Somewhere. I heard him whisper words in my ear, words I cannot remember, as he rocked me back and forth. I stayed there, letting my tears subside. I looked up. The sky was blending with reds, oranges, and yellows. A soft pink blurred at the edges of vision, and I finally felt the weight of my exhaustion. I closed my eyes once more, and let go.
