I once knew this girl

This girl was my world

She had parents who always argued and complained

Sometimes it would be about their lifestyle or something insane

I could tell it would bother her, so I stood her by her side

No matter what it was, she can talk to me

Nothing had to hide

I would try to help her and try to keep her calm

But her parents arguments would explode like a pipe bomb

The shrapnel of their words left a scar on her wrists

I was there to pick up the pieces

But she just wouldn't quit

No matter how hard I tried, the damage grew worse

I still remember the words

"Forever and always" echoed in my head

I remember when it laid in comfort like a cozy bed

Now it rattles inside

One night she gave me a call

"Forever and always" she said to me

"Talk to me, I'm here" I said

Silence

I call for her name while my heart began to race

"Please talk to me"

" Forever and always" she said once again

BAM

That was the last I heard from her

The rattling of the words still echo in my head

No longer cozy, no longer a bed

Nothing but rattle

Could have I done more?

The thought lingers in my head more and more

Hold those you love close to you

Don't ever let them go

Forever and always

Forever and always
