she sat
numb and breaking at the police station
the boy was next to her
his eyes hollowed out
breaths fast and panicked
she can't comfort him
she can't even breath
her lungs can't move
she tells them what she knows
and they let her call someone
he looks tense
but he pulls her into his arms
until he stops shaking
im sorry
he whispers
for what
he can't answer her
but the sadness in his voice
chills her soul
for what?
