I can't believe it
when I unlock the door
to see her lying
white as paper
on the floor
pills surrounding her head
like a halo
I hear a wailing cry
It is mine
All those times
when I was so sure
she was fine
I was wrong
How could I have been
so wrong?
All those times
I could have
helped her
Instead I left her
alone
I probably made it worse
I ignored her
when she needed me most
Because I just wanted to stop
thinking about him
Too wrapped up in my own sorrows
to think she might
have them too
