Everything.
Everything's gone. He was everything.
There's nothing else. Nothing but this.
Left alone. Pills. Gone.
Eyes close.

Floating. Nothing makes sense.
Pieces of memories. Friends Family.
Everything that mattered. Before him. Before this.
Pain. Crying out. For comfort. For warmth.
Don't want this.
Don't want this anymore.

Eyes open.
Mom. Dad. Hospital. Tears.
Love. Real love.
It's not over.

Doctors. Questions. Worse pain.
I'm lucky. So lucky.
Visits. Friends. More tears.
Never again. Promise.

I'm still here.
He wasn't everything. He wasn't love. Wasn't worth it.
Still lucky. Lucky to be alive. Lucky for family. Lucky for friends.
There's a reason. Always a reason.
For me. For you. For everybody.

Life. Precious. Never waste it.
