Perspective Loneliness

She picked the gun up and cocked it.

Put the barrel to her head; her knees they locked, And she only had one last thought:

"God I wish for all this pain to stop."

Then there was a sound so deafening to her ear; the world started to grow dark as she lost all fear.

And for seconds her heart did stop....her lifeline drifted, her breathing dropped.

In all honesty, she felt peace.

Like a weight had been lifted, as her body dropped to it's knees.

I guess that's why she didn't hear the screams.

Somebody grabbed her, begging "PLEASE!"

But what did that even mean?

All these days and nights, she felt alone so it seemed.

But I guess that's just how it goes.

You feel the darkness, and the world doesn't know.

Your smile is all that shows; while emptiness inside continues to grow.

And it CAN be maddening-

Depressive, soul sucking, tiring, saddening.

But the world just floats on by.

I guess it's true when they say only the strong survive.

And for her, she'd simply hit her time.

Her friends that thought they were close, didn't see the lies.

Didn't see the tears in her eyes late at night when she cried.

So inevitably, she felt alone.

And that unfortunately, is just how it goes.
