Wristcutters: A Love Story

Union

They were hanging out one day,
Munching and watching movies.
It was all normal,
Until he started acting a different way.

He paused the screen and finally asked,
The question she's been dying to hear.
It passed through his soft lips,
Will you be mine?
I've been wanting to ask for a year.

Yes of course,
I love you.
She leaned over and gave him a kiss then two.
He accepted them with no force.
No feeling of regret or remorse.

After cuddling for hours that night,
She went home.
As soon as she walked through the door,
She once again felt alone.

Her mom called her to her room.
Not a single word was said,
She just beat her and beat her,
Until she was half dead.

Now in her own room crying,
Again she wished she was dying.
She pressed a pretty blade,
Against her wrists.
Thinking oh,
She didn't want to exist.
