I Have a Friend
"I just don't care anymore"
The words ring in my head
Like a scratched tape
She doesn't care
That she's hurting the ones she loves
Every time she touches the metal to her skin
I think I get through to her
But the next day,
All progress is lost
I don't know what hasn't been said
What details she's strategically left out
But I won't give up
I refuse to let her become like me
Pink scars across her skin
With no way to be completely put back together
I can't let her keep spiraling down
Getting closer and closer to rock bottom
Hitting down hard right next to me
I *know
she can do it
She just has to
want
to get better
But what if when that time comes
*It's already too late?
