Selfish

wrote this to enter a contest and now I really like it. Wanted to expand on it but couldn't think of much. Maybe I'll add to it one day

I ate a full meal

While she couldn’t keep anything down

 

I cried from laughter

While she laughed at herself for crying again

 

I carved pumpkins with our friends

While she carved lines into her wrists

 

I wrote a letter just to say hello

While she wrote her goodbye

 

I took a painkiller for my headache

While she took the rest of the bottle for her heartache

 

My heart keeps beating

But hers never did again

She needed me

I failed her
