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.
