Secret Lovers' Death

**I Wrote This When I Got Inspired By Another Poem On This Site So Hopefully They Don't Sound Too Alike Though They Are Sorta The Same**

He was always there for her
She cared for him with all her heart
They were the best of friends
They were never apart

Except there was a secret she hid
Something she never had said
For as long as she could remember
She loved him as more than a friend

He was the one that kept her safe
He protected her from using the knife
Like a guardian angel, he saved her
From all the terrible things in her life

There were times when it almost slipped
Oh, how she wanted to say it so bad
Yet, she knew she couldn't
She didn't want to lose someone she'd always had

Then out of nowhere, something changed
They started drifting away from each other
Unknowingly, he would make her cry
He'd tell her how much he loved another

But she didn't know that he was lying
So she had no clue
The boy would only say this
Because he knew he truly loved her too

He never should have played that game
He didn't realize what a mess he made
How stupid was he not to see
Until it was too late

One night, she just couldn't take it
Without him, she had no reason to stay
So she locked herself in her room
And grabbed the knife she had tucked away

She called to say one final goodbye
To tell him what she had always felt
"I love you," she sobbed into the phone
"You never saw how much you meant"

Without another word, she hung up
She looked at the knife and cried
One last breath...
She stabbed her vein and died

Consumed with guilt, he ran
But as he kicked open her door
He realized he was too late
The sight he saw chilled him to the core

There she was, lying in blood
He cried out in horror and pain
Look at what he had done to her!
And now it's just him, filled with shame

He should have told her earlier
It was hard to believe she never knew
All this time she had loved him
And all this time, he had loved her too

Let this be a lesson for you
You can always fight fate
If you love someone, you have to tell them
Before they're gone and it's too late
