Her breathing slowed,
Her sobs quieted down as she laid there.
And for a brief moment everything was alright.
It was over,
She couldn’t go back and at that time she didn’t want to.
She stood there looking at her lifeless body as she faded off into the distance.
But suddenly,
With one foot in the light
She hears a familiar voice.
“Don’t leave me, i need you”

Who was that familiar voice,
No on ever needed her.
No one loved her,
Cared,
Missed,
Or even liked her.
Or so she thought.

She stood there crying,
For no apparent reason.
She wrecked someone's world,
Someone who cared.
She couldn't remember anything,
She wanted to go back but couldn’t find a way out she was too far gone.

“Was it a dream?
Or was it real.
Could she not go back?
Who said that?”
So many thoughts ran through her head that she forgot.
She forgot the light just beyond the door.
Once again she was trapped in her thoughts,
Alone and wondering.
What would’ve happened if i had stayed?
