there's something about that day that won't go away
the day my life changed, i didn't have a say
nothing would ever go back to how it was
one night enough to change all the above
september 15
the sun shining bright
a week since the news had been told to me
meeting with an ex
just so she could see
her friend, his dad, what for?
a little too late
a few hours go by
around 7pm when the clock strikes night
we aren't where we're supposed to be
"just go inside,
you'll be fine"
the screams, they proved that wrong
running upstairs
a door slammed shut
tears and fears running throughout my room
a simple text throws it out
"go outside
get in the car"
what else was i supposed to do?
standing by locked cars
hearing running from inside
the lock slide open
crying, get inside
she climbs in the driver's seat
he is screaming right behind
"you love me don't you?
you want to see me again right?"
standing in the doorway
all alone
screams fill the back
scared out of our minds
the door gets pulled closed
driving away
to lost friend's house
no one knows where to go
no explanation given
tears fill all the eyes
too scared to cry
too lost to cry
phone almost dead
no one around
feeling so alone again and again
stay until late night
no stars to shine bright
who's fault was this?
