The Valley of Ashes

He looks at me, straight to my soul. I feel myself tremble but cannot stop it.
'What are you doing?'� his voice drips with venom and my skin turns to goose flesh. I gasp to air, and he looks at the knife I hold at my throat. I press the knife more, the out side force giving out. He yells.
'Stop!'� I look at him, he expects me to listen, after what he has done to me he still thinks he has control.
'No,'� I choke, I feel the beads of blood run in a ribbon down my neck, painting my neck the color of my broken heart. 'You took me against my will, you shattered my innocence.'� Tears began to flood over my eyes, blurring the image of the devil before me.
'I did it because you deserved it.'� He yelled, it is just as it is as when I was a kid. I told myself I didn't deserve it but now as I'm older I cant convince myself so easily.
Clear and red tears mix and dance and cleanse my soul from the darkness that he brings.
'Get away.'� The cold steel inches into the flushed inside of my sanctuary. 'I hate you.'� The steel goes deeper inside me. He fights for my hand in which the knife is slowly ending my torture. I fly back as he hits me, my face stings and tingles as the place where his hand hit my cheek.
Will death over come me yet? Please say it will steal me from the world. A light comes over my eyes, below me the valley of ash slowly fills with the tortured souls of hell. The box of hell opens below me. Above my head, where he just was, the gates of heaven opens and the white palace gently fills with the wings of the beautiful. The gates of heaven are half empty.
The light is gone and he is above me, the knife still in my hand, I press down and the rest of the red river is lost from my broken heart. I feel dizzy and then I smile. I have won, he cant hurt me anymore.
'Don't laugh you stupid girl.'� I smile, then leave.
Gently I am pulled into the Valley of Ashes. I am just another ash.
