Slurred Words

I spent half my teens always waiting, and when I felt it was over i'd give into the darkness.

As she stood looking in the mirror

There was only one thing she could see

Someone everyone hated

Something she never wanted to be

There were some different options

to end her life

she looked in the drawers

then took out some pills and a knife

Walking into the bedroom

She shut and locked the door

threw the stuff on her bed

and then sat in the floor

All those times 

when she had been screamed at and hit

Wondering why she never fought back

and just took all that s**t

Only two people understand her

but she hasn't heard from them

she knows she did something wrong

but just couldn't figure out what it had been

Giving it one more chance she called him

his mom answered and said he wasn't there

Then she called her friend

no answer, it was something she couldn't bare

she sat the phone on the bed

exchanging it for the bottle of pills

she swallowed all that were in it

then sat back and hoped that it kills

But then she remembered

doctors can bring the pills back up

so she grabbed the knife

and knew she had to cut

pressing the blade deep within her skin

she felt nothing at all

though when she threw down the knife

she saw the blood start to fall

Then the phone rang

It was a familiar ringtone she could hear

She quickly picked it up

and put it to her ear

It was him and he said sorry

He had been working a lot but was on his way there

She started to cry

and asked how could this be, its not fair

He asked what was wrong

but as she was telling him her words started to slur

She got light headed

and everything became a blur

At some point she dropped the phone

It felt like forever before he busted in the door

then others started rushing in

at least a dozen more

When she opened her eyes

The nurse told her she would have died

if it hadn't been for the thoughtful guy

That was now standing at her side

He took her by the hand

And looked deep into her eyes

after stealing a kiss he told her

He wasn't ready to say his goodbyes
