Dear victim,
I'm a fucking coward.
You
You are gone now
I watched them pull the plug
And before I could stop myself, I was running, I ran faster than I ever have in my life. I should have stayed and held your hand as you left this world.
I'm a fucking coward and because of it you are dead.
So as I write this last letter, there are some things you need to know.
You are so beautiful. And I don't mean just your face or your body. You were truly kind, and brilliant, and you had so much love for the world. You had this fire burning inside you and I fucking smothered it. I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am.
You would have been someone great. If you had made it out of that hell of a high school and if I hadn't treated you so hideously, you would have gotten out of there and been something great in this world.
I cannot live in a world without you, especially knowing I'm the cause.
And it's selfish and cowardly but that's me. I am selfish, and I am a coward.
Today was the day you died
And today will be the day I die with you.
I want to say I hope I see you on the other side but I know you'd be better off if I just burn in hell.
I'm so sorry
Sincerely, your bully
