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
