The Day After Tomorrow

14. James: Please, no

Please no.

Don't say I was too late.

Don't say she is now gone,

And arriving at heaven's gate.

She felt so useless,

And she felt so alone.

I didn't know why,

She didn't just pick up the phone.

I would've arrived at her house as soon as I could,

And hugged and kissed her troubles away.

Thinking about it now,

I should've done that anyway...

Days past, even weeks,

And yet everyday,

I still woke up,

Hoping she would only be a call away.

People don't understand when we tell them:

'I can't live without you',

We can,

We just don't want to.

I want out of this nightmare.

I keep pinching my skin.

To see if this life really is real,

And I'll have to actually live without her grin.
