So much blood
There was so much
Please be alive
Please stay with me
Live for me I beg you
I had to go
Please understand
I couldn’t stay
I wanted to
I miss your arms
Your warmth
I so wanted to bury myself inside you
Instead your folds
You have to understand
Please
I couldn’t have stayed
My job depended on it
–
I should have stayed
I should have listened to your cries
I chose….I chose instead to leave
Please live for me
I should have stayed
I could have protected you
From their hands
Bad enough that they robbed
Rape?
They had to rape you also
Please be alive
I’m so sorry
Please be alive
Dear God
Preserve the lives
Of my wife
Of my children
Preserve the life of my unborn child
