"I am your Diary, the lock is on my lips, the pages in my heart" Quote from myself


I watched you die, slowly from the inside,
how did no one else see it? Not see as you fell farther and farther.
I reach down to pull you back up as I've done before.
But this time I find I cannot reach you,
you've gone farther from my grasp.
I cannot save you.
Am I the only one who wishes she could?
With all the lies you told can I be sure anything I say is true.
Why do I care exactly? You're gone it's all the past, it wasn't my fault.
Is it? It can't be, I didn't tell people they could treat you badly, I didn't give you a gun and tell you to do it.
Why would I?
You were that best friend no one else saw but was always there.
You always said I was a follower, look where I'm following you to now.
I'm feeling the pain you felt, but then it's gone. I hear you yell and now we live in the world no one believed in.


The author's comments:
I wrote this while I was sitting in English, we were talking about Romeo and Juliet and I thought that maybe today it could still happen. So I wrote about a boy who did kill himself and the narrator is saying that she wanted to save him and decided she couldn't live without him so she followed his lead.
