"Follow my hand..."
Nobody will ever understand.
As my pupils dart from side to side
Her life flashes before my eyes.
"It's alright to feel this way."
A bottle of pills... A dull blade...
Her emotionless eyes stared into my soul
And just when I thought my heart was whole
It shattered again.
"It's okay to feel this pain."
But it isn't okay I wasn't there for her.
Memories flash to that letter.
Oh Leta, I'm so sorry....
"Let it all out, everything's going to be okay."
But it isn't okay. I feel like shit.
Everyone else just seems okay with it!
Even her family moved on
Yet I'm still holding on.
"Deep breaths, you're safe here."
But it's not okay, she isn't here!!!
As her hand slowed down and eventually went still
A pained cry escaped my lips.
"WHY?!?!"
