Falling Again

She fell to her knees grasping for air during her long sobbing breathes. She watched as the man reached for the knife, her voice was too small, she couldn’t say no. She knew it was his last day on earth and she couldn’t stop it. She covered her eyes so she didn’t see it happen and just let her tears be mistaken for the rain. She reached out one more time still kneeling on the ground, but it was too late, the man had already fallen to the ground and before she could cry for help, she fell just like him.
