she cried out to him,
with open arms
and bleeding wrists.
her tear stained shirt,
caught the blood
and sadness
that dripped from
her body.
he was there
to catch her
when she fell.
consuming her,
blanketing her,
isolating her
away from life.
death took her away,
leaving the rest
of the world
behind.
soon to come
back
and take another
desperate child.
