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
