Apologize

Sick to my stomach

As I look at her

Blood running down her arms

Cuts and scars litter her body

Tears run down my face

I caused this, I did this to her

Memories of us run through my mind

If only I had noticed a change

The bags under her eyes

Her massive weight loss

If only I had noticed sooner

She wouldn't be six feet under

Of even the lack of friends

The teasing and the name calling

I brushed it off because she told me she was fine

Oh, but I was wrong

Notes in her locker that I've never read

The threats that I never paid attention to

Just looking back on us I feel worthless

That I never noticed

But with the pills in my hand, maybe I'll see her again

And maybe then I could apologize
