Jul 2012
She was face down on a red mattress
Probably recalling her short life
Probably not remembering me
Probably not thinking of the closing school we used to drag ourselves to
I wonder if she knew she was dying there
I wonder if she knew her last few moments in this life
Would be suffering from a kind bullet
Maybe she was crying silently
Maybe she was thinking of her lonely mother
Maybe she was thinking Of the scars she left
Maybe she was wondering what the black and white headlines would be
Maybe she was wondering how She got involved
She was definitely dreaming that
She could go back and do it right
About a girl I knew. I don't want to say friend because we haven't been close. But she was murdered. She was adopted and got mixed in with the wrong crowd. Most people aren't sympathetic over her death like I am. Maybe because she resembles my brother.
