Dear Emily

Dear Emily 

You beamed like the sun 

While I walked in the shadows 

Why did you leave me Emily?

We promised each other 

We’d never grow apart 

Best friends forever 

But instead of life getting in the way 

We tore our friendship 

Piece by piece 

A single thread 

All that’s left of our bond

I can’t let go

How do I do this alone, Emily?

My hands bloody

My arms heavy 

My face wet with sadness 

I hold on 

Trying to not let go 

Please don’t leave me Emily 

Snap 

The sound will echo through my head 

Whenever I think of you 

Whenever I see your face 

Whenever I hear our song

Snap

The sound of the end 

The end of an era

The end of us

My heart forms a crack 

Another crack 

Tracing out your name 

Deep enough to bleed

Deep enough to scar 

Please Don’t leave Emily

I lay on this cold tile 

Thinking about what was

My mind is hazy 

I’m so tired 

I can hear your voice 

I can see your face 

I wait for silence 

I wait for peace

But yet it doesn’t come 

I take a pill

Your voice only gets louder

Begging and screaming me to stop

I take another

Your voice is deafening, Emily

I take another 

And another 

And another 

Finally there is silence 

I close my eyes 

I’m so tired 

The darkness creeps 

Over my eyes

Down to my bones 

Just like it always does 

And then it’s black 

I love you Emily
