I see you across the room, broken and ashamed. Swirls of black mascara swim in the tangy rivers of tears streaming down your cheeks. Your shoulders shake with your sobs, your broken heart is empty. I know what you've done, the pill bottles lay empty on the floor, I watched as you swallowed them all. I tried to stop you, tried telling you this is a mistake, but your life is slowly fading away now, my pleas you didn't hear. You've always been beside me, ever since I was a baby, yet I don't know who you are anymore. We used to laugh and play, now you never speak. I haven't seen you smile, since he left your life, I haven't heard you lovely laugh. You never say what's going on in your life, you think no one cares. You walk closer to me, and I see your bloody wrists. Deep gashes crisscross around his carved name. Blood drips to the floor, your steps are weak. Collapsing in front of me, i crouch to your level, we both know what will become of you. A tattered memory stored in the closet of every one's minds. I wish I could help you, but I don't know who you are. Not yet seventeen, your life not yet begun, but now it's over, your dreams will never come true. A loving husband and beautiful children, was all you ever wanted, but will never come to pass. You will be buried away, forgotten...gone...
I watch you as you fall, your heart beat faded. With shaking and weak hands, I reach out to caress your cheek, wipe away your tears. Your frightened empty eyes watch as my bloodied hand collides with the cold smooth glass of the mirror as we both realize...I am you...
