New Lines

One new line

Slowly fading away

But the smile on her face

Starts to turn grey

Two new lines

Both well hidden

Her parents begin to fight

She thinks she's a burden

Three new lines

All for some reason

She wears long sleeves

Even though they're out of season

Four new lines

All of them deep

Her friends start to leave her

Every night now she weeps

Five new lines

She thinks this is the end

So she says goodbye

To her last friend

Six new lines

She takes a deep breath

Her friend tries to stop her

From causing her own death

All of the lines

Slowly fading away

Until the day

When her smile turns grey

A/N

I wrote this poem about relapse... I believe this might be one of my saddest poems I've written. This actually has a different ending, but I could not bring myself to write out what I had written originally. I can always post the alternate ending, if anyone would like to see it, because the original is almost always more likely to happen.
