~*~*~*~

I wished you the best when you made your decision to join your people in
Paradise, to reunite with friends and family who have been waiting three
thousand years for you. Even with the tears in my eyes, I wished you the
best. Even though I knew I would be lonely and I felt like my heart was
shattering into more pieces than I could ever put back together, I wanted you
to be happy. Even if that happiness meant you were leaving me to live a life
without you by my side.

I miss how you would hold me and whisper how much you loved me in my ear. It
felt good to be in your arms. It felt safe.
You were an angel who graced me with the protection of your wings.

I wince as a raindrop lands too close to my bruised eye. It's a shame; it
brought me back to the cold present. I want the warm past back. A past where
I didn't have to wonder what you would have done to him, the one that violated
my soul. I know you would have struck him down before he could have touched
me. You would have pulled him into a Shadow Game, or possibly straight into a
Penalty Game. Your justice could be cruel like that, but never unwarranted.

I knew sex could hurt, but you were always gentle. You made sure my body was
ready, that I wasn't scared.
I had never experienced this kind of physical pain before. Everything aches
deep in my bones, my insides feel torn apart. The rain stings and numbs the
cuts on my body, especially the ones around my wrists where leather held me.

I can only stare at the dark sky as water washes away blood and semen, as it
hides the tears that won't stop flowing.
I'm sorry I failed you. I should have been able to do something. After
everything we went through together, I should have been able to stop a single
man.

The rain falls harder.
I sigh in relief as my body deadens. Though my heart still aches, at least
now I don't have to feel the abuse I just underwent.
All I can do now is watch the rain and wonder if someone will find me before I
die. If I do die, I hope I'm allowed to join you in Paradise, where I'm sure
the rain is warm. Not cold like what falls on my broken body now.

Funny, I don't think it was supposed to rain tonight. Did Paradise force you
to watch, Atemu? Is this rain your doing? Are you crying for me as I am
crying for you?
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you weep as my heart does. But let me ask
you a favor. It may be the last I ask of anyone, and it would put me at peace
if it were from you.
Please, Atemu. With your tears, wash me clean.
