when i came into
work this morning
you were upset
on the edge
just waiting for a call
from your brother
last night your niece
tried to commit suicide
*(she wouldn't have
made it if her twin hadn't
had an odd feeling and
called her)*
my stomach dropped
i don't know this girl
*(they found her passed
out with empty bottles
of xanax and
cough syrup)*
you told the story
over the course of
the day unfolding family
details like clean laundry
*(critical condition
and now her dad has to
go to the police because
she doesn't take xanex)*
"why would
she do that?
she only totaled
her car it wasn't
that bad why
would she do this?"
i didn't say
anything
thinking maybe
it was just the
thing that pushed
her over the edge
and the day wore on
you weren't quite
there mentally
i could tell
but on the other
hand i wasn't really
either too busy wishing
i was your niece.
