One Away
One breath away
From deciding that she's done
One tear away
From wondering if its too late
One thought away
From having those cuts on her arms
One smile away
From falling over the edge
One moment away
From it being too late
Too late to save
The girl you thought was okay
One lightbulb away
From realizing that her smile
Wasn't always a smile
But just a plea for help.
"I'm okay," she said with a smile.
“Please take my hand. Take my hand and save me," said her smile.
