Finally At Peace

Broken

Pain and anguish engulfed her body

As she fell to her knees

Her best friend swung from the rope

Like a wind charm

Blowing in the breeze. 

Shaking and trembling

She crawled to where the note lay

Unfolding the crumpled paper

She wanted to know why

Why did he leave her that day? 

The note was well written

The letters neat and in between the lines

This was not a spur of the moment decision

This had been planned

He had wanted this for a long time. 

Sharp intake of breath

Mumbled words out loud

Words of apology and guilt

He didn't want to hurt her

Wanted to make her proud. 

Anger coursed through her veins

How could he do this to her

She screamed at his cold body

Hours and hours later

Her voice barely a whisper. 

She stood and stumbled to where his body hung

Wrapped her arms around his icy skin

Before picking up the razor blade

Gliding it down her arm

Skin cut, paper thin. 

Dazed and confused

She fell at his feet

Smiling up at him

She wasn't afraid

For in Heaven they would meet.
