She sits there behind the door on the floor, waiting, just waiting. The seconds feel like hours. At that moment the timer goes off and she jumps. She looks down at the counter to see what her fate will be. It’s positive…She flashes back to that night when he pulled out, she had this feeling like she knew something didn’t go right. She cannot believe what she has done. Her future has gone from college to taking care of her son or daughter. Can two fifteen year olds really raise a child together?...

They told her that she would never amount to anything. The guys just got close to her to take advantage of her. Look at where she is now. The path of self-destruction has eaten her alive. She had the scars on her arm to prove it. The blood shot eyes and dark circles surrounding them. She sits in her room at night and cries for hours wondering if anyone can hear her. She waits for the tub to fill to the brim. She steps into the ice cold water and lies down. Taking one last breath she goes under....

Our first kiss was bursting with passion. It’s as if we have known each other for years and we’ll be together for eternity. Our bodies move as one. Your touch gives me life. I’ve wondered what it means to be loved and cared for. I think you’re telling me in your own way. Every time you look at me I see it. I never want to let go because I’m afraid that if I do I’ll lose you. I’ll love you forever and always. This is our destiny, to be together.

Shards of glass lay before me. It makes me think about what you did to me and how you broke my heart. Hot burning tears run down my face. I fall to my knees wondering what I did wrong. I want to cut or do some serious damage to myself. Then I realize that you aren’t worth it. If you don’t want me then I won’t waste my time crying. I get up and praise the lord for making me realize what I could have done to myself.

You’re in mid-sentence and im getting lost. Lost in thought, lost in your eyes, and lost in your arms…Thinking about how much I love you and how much I don’t want to leave you. Thinking about how blue your eyes are when you’re happy. Thinking about the warmth of your arms and the comfort and strength I find there. Thinking about how right this feels and that we should last forever. Then you look at me and I come back to reality. Goodbye thoughts…I’ll come back to you later.

Always saving me. That’s just what you do when I’m sick or angry. You keep me from yelling or maybe you’ll just let me break down and cry. I don’t know what it is about you, but you make me feel safe. It’s like you’re my superman and I’m the damsel in distress. My superhero, that’s what you will forever be.

Bruised and broken, she lays on the floor. The attacker came again. She won’t go to the police and she won’t tell her friends. They all wonder why she has those bruises and cuts across her face. She doesn’t show up at school the next day. Her best friend shows up at her house looking for her. He finds her on the floor by the door. He picks her up and takes her to the hospital. They cannot fix her. The attacker came on too strong this time. Her body cannot fight the great fight anymore.

I step outside and the scent of your perfume still lingers there, I miss you. I still remember the look on your face when you said goodbye. You seemed so sad. It hurts to see you that way. The blue in your eyes has faded to gray. Now there is a sadness I cannot fix. From radiant to dull in a matter of moments.

She’s left hurt and crying. That’s the last time that she will ever open up to a guy again. He used her. She shuts herself off from the world. Off to a place where she can control how bad the pain is. She sits with the blade at an angle. Deep under the skin it goes. The blood trickles down her arm. One, two, three more and she has gone through enough pain for tonight. The blade goes back to its perch and she goes on as if nothing ever happened.

Overdose pulsing through my veins. Falling into the dark sea. You found me on the floor. They try to bring me back to life. No, I will not come back for you to torture me. Staying here in the blackness is what I want. Forever.
