I Wish

Did she know 

her friends were fake?

Would she have known

that life could steal?

Could she know

the pit was deep?

Never had I known

How did she feel?

Everyone was shady

Everything was messy

Ones who made her happy

Now left her lonely.

Her provoking will had weakened

Those sparkling eyes had swollen

The beautiful face was ashen

Her wonderful smile was broken.

Sitting by the window

She looked at the sky

She asked me a question

"Hey, do stars ever die?"

Could a young girl of seventeen

Know about the world being mean?

Without overthinking

I dodged the unseen.

The following morning, 

I opened her room's door

Had it all turned, suddenly cold?

Was it just me or was it the floor?

Colour drained out of her body

Her rhythm had ceased

The sore eyes fixated at the roof

Her soul found its peace.

Remembering her memories

I began to lumber

Praying for the night

To be just another horror.
