You left us

She lived for you
Said that you were her life
She counted your kisses
She wore your oversized sweaters

She smiled in her pain
To soothe you
Lied how deep her cuts were
How bad it really was

I never saw your face
But I heard you sing
Into an old radio
Soft guitars and happy pain
Your voice made me understand why she loved you

You were her life
Said she was yours
You were her closest connection
Her bed
Her little journal
Her crazy hair
Her silly grin
Her life

And now you're gone
How could you do that to her?
Anger clouds my vision of grief
You left her
I don't know what she's holding onto anymore

She tried to go down with you
To see you again
Her neck swollen and red the next day
Just like yours when they found you
Swinging from a rope
Not one more word left in your mouth
How could you leave us
Her
Him
Me

You were perfect
Long red hair
Anime gamer
Funny but caring
Her first kiss
Maybe the first thing that ever had the guts to show her love
Rage hidden by laughter
Remorse hidden by death.
