My Best Friend
On my bed
I watch her steady breathing
I slowly lean over and whisper
“Lilia, wake up.”
She turns her head
“What is it Carolynn?”
“It’s Time to go.”
I pull her up
We slowly get dressed
Packing bags full of
Everything we’ll need.
I kiss her harshly on
The lips and say
“Let’s go”
We slowly creep
Down the stairs
Into the basement
Past my brother
To the door.
I tightly hold
Lilia’s sweaty small hand
I crack the door
Cold wind rushes in on me.
I turn to make sure
The cold hasn’t
Awoken my brother.
I push Lilia
Out into the dark
And quickly
After her
I turn to slide the
Door shut.
Before I shut it
All the way
I whisper
“I’ll miss you,
Will you miss us?”
We start to walk
Each step easier
Then the last
We don’t speak much
A question here
A kiss there
We’ve had this planned
For months
We would runaway together
Cause no one could understand
How strong
Our love is
We finally did it
I couldn’t believe it happened
I turned to her
“I love you Lilia.”
“I love you Carolynn.”
I grabbed her hand
And began
To run.
We ran all the way
To a pay phone
Called a cab
Drove for two hours
We pulled over
I paid the driver
We got out
Lilia pulled me into
The woods.
We walked to a clearing
It was by a slow running
River
“Perfect” We coursed
We gather are selves together to
Prepare for our
Little act
We have decided
To nap for a while
I know this is right
As we awake
I know it’s time
“Ready?”
Lilia asks
I respond with a kiss
We grab our objects out
Of our bag.
We wade into the water
I take the razor
And she takes hers
We run it down our wrist
As the
Blood runs wild
I whisper
“I love you”
And my last thought is
I know
This is
Right
