I looked into her eyes
And got lost in their depth
A glance into the future
Revealing the secrets she kept
For so many years she cared too
Yet we were both afraid to say
We avoided each other completely…
Every time, simply another day
She cried to me one night
“Please help I don’t know what to do”
I wrapped my arms around her body
“It is okay now I’m here with you”
She told me about her boyfriend
He cheated and hurt her bad
I told her not to worry…
But in the inside I was getting mad
I held back my anger…
And I comforted her instead
Play with her hair
She lay on my bed
I leaned over her to kiss her cheek
She smiled and turned to me
“Thank you for being there
I have finally learned to see”
With that she drifted off to sleep
And I left her quietly sleeping
“How could anyone want to hurt her? ”
I ran through my thoughts
My heart leaping
I met up with her boyfriend
Swung out of pure love and rage
A knife stabbed through my stomach
“God where were you today? ”
My head smacking
Onto the pavement
My breath getting thin…
My vision blurred
And fading slowly…
This was a battle I could never win
As this darkness consumes me…
Lights fill my eyes…
I am proud to have lost my life
If it meant ending her cries
Broken Hearts
