You took it to far this time


So, you thought you knew her?

you thought just because you knew her name, 

you knew her story?

Do you realize how deep your words cut her?

She thinks that her mere exsistance pisses you off,

i mean,

why else would you say and do

the things you do?

I'm sure it's not because you're showing off...

or is it?

If that is so that is really low,

you see the supposed "fun" in the names yous spew

and the words you cut her down with.

You notice that she's not in class today,

it's different not having someone to victimize.

Something doesn't feel right about her absence 

in the room today.

You wonder if she is just sick,

or if something more serious has happened...

You just brush it off and push it out of your mind, 

a couple of days pass by

and rumors start to spread...

you finally hear the truth...

she's dead...

you realize that this was caused by you,

you never thought she would follow through,

but now you know, sticks and stones will break

your bones, and words will always hurt you.

you know you took it to far this time.
