7.Grieving

There is blood on your hands, dripping red upon the deep pile of the rug. You are unheeding to the strain slowly spreading down your robes.

I was made to watch.

Your hands, your face. But it is not you. I keep reminding myself of that, although it gets harder by the day, as each horror is piled on the last until they become one endless nightmare.

I hope you are sleeping, and I pray that your dreams are filled with laughter and thoughts of home, rather than screams.

And I pray with all my heart you are not screaming with them
