the words flying from her mouth and
straight into my chest like a sharp blade.
i couldn't stand the thought of walking
away from her, so i wrapped her in
my arms and silently rocked her
praying that i'd know what to do.
things were only getting worse
and i was only getting in deeper,
and that terrified me more
than anything.
even more than
death.
