A Little Get Away

She can't wait to get away. All she wants is to get away. She's saying goodbye now. She'll be "the one standing next to Hades", like you said. She will live down to all your expectations, and try to make her life as much of a living hell as possible. Your words will be tossed into a flaming pit, as you follow them down.. down, get down.. and stay down forever.. Or perhaps she could slit her wrists and watch the blood drain out from crying veins that only want attention. She could take a gun to her mouth and write your name on the bullet as it screeches to a halt. Instead, she will smile, laugh, she knows nothing is wrong, for she has won the battle. She now lives life for herself. You are and always will remain a memory of what could have and almost went wrong.
