To Him

What have you done?

Do you even know?

Are you even the slightest bit aware?

If you were, would you even care?

You killed her.

Do you know what all you took from us?

The entirety of it?

It was actual robbery.

She was robbed.

We were robbed.

Of normalcy,

A future,

A daughter,

A sister,

A girlfriend,

A best friend.

Do you know the damage you caused?

The life lost.

Countless things lost.

Vanished.

A 21st birthday,

College graduation,

Her wedding day,

Future children,

An aunt,

A godmother,

My best friend.

Do you feel remorse?

Any at all?

Does it keep you up all hours of the night?

Like it does me?

Do you know what you did?

The innocence you took?

From a brother.

Only 10.

Too young to know that evil resides in this world.

Too young to comprehend how evil could consume his whole world.

Do you pray?

Pray to the same God I do?

To the same God I prayed so tirelessly to?

The one I begged to bring her back to me?

Do you pray he grants you forgiveness?

As I pray he brings her peace?

Did you know her name?

The plans she had?

What she wanted to name her children?

Do you know how cold you made my heart?

Cold as the cell you currently reside in.

Can I ask you why?

Will you please just tell me why?

Or how?

How could you?

You killed her.

BUT -

You did not win.

You did not break her.

You do not have the last word.
