She says, “I want to **** myself, I want to die.” I calmly say, “Not tonight.” A night later she says she’s okay with pain. I say she has feelings she needs to contain. I try to tell her that she’s perfect. And if she’s told otherwise those people have the defect. But my words never work. To her I’m nothing but another **** She tells me that no matter how close she gets she’s never there. That no matter how she tries nobody cares. Then what is that in the mirror I look into? Am I the nobody that will never break through? Are my words as empty as theirs? Am I really invisible like air? Because if that’s the truth I won’t try. Because if that’s the truth I’ll be the one who dies. Maybe  if I died those words you say, Wouldn’t come out of your mouth another day. Oh but my mistake. I seemed to have forgotten that I’m someone you forsake. So even if I weren’t there. You wouldn’t seem to care.

She wants to die but I'd rather she didn't.
