Bye Bye Becca
Becca was my best friend
She was tall and pretty but no one ever noticed
Her golden hair fell to her waist
And her eyes as blue as the ocean
She was kind and honest
Not that any one cared or believed
At night when it was dark we would escape to the park and play
"Punish the weak for their lack of strength",
She would always say
"A little pain won't hurt them."
Her advise was always right I told my self
We were like a host and it's reflection
I could alway take her with every where I went
No one ever noticed she was even there.
But our time was short lived mama said she was the darkness within me
She cried every night
Not that I cared
It was only then when I was drowning the very people I loved
I saw my reflection for the very first time
And i saw becca in the light
I was walking with the darkness within me
