The Nine Words That Laughed Back

You laughed at the girl who sat alone,

Insults thrown at her like rocks, her name unknown.

She was the girl who sat in the dark,

Her once-happy heart, torn apart.

You laughed at the girl who sat silent,

Hurt, crying, in pain but still she kept quiet.

 You laughed in her face when you saw her dark eyes,

If only you knew that behind the tears, her anger rised.

And then came the day she finally snapped,

Now she could be alone without your laugh.

The piercing sirens still shrieked in your head,

Painting the night sky canvas in blue and red.

She was found under the stairwell with a note clutched in her hand,

Her eyes blank but beautiful, as fragile as sand.

On the note, nine words were hastily scrawled in black lead,

You coward, you coward, could you read them? You only saw red.

Only nine, only nine, only nine,

Those words on that note turned your heart black,

You were to blame, you were to blame for this horrible act.

Only nine- only nine;

"Are you still laughing now that I'm not alive?"
