Taking Blame

I will never forget the night
that I didn't answer my phone.
If I had known it could have saved your life,
I would go back in time
and turn the volume up so I could hear it ring.

But early the next morning
you became the girl who wasn't there.

I died a thousand times
when I saw your lifeless body
lying on the ground,
as I started screaming in the crowd.

No one wants to take the blame
for the reason of your death,
so I will take it all,
even though you were my best friend,
and they were the ones
who put you in the ground!!
