Picture Perfect

A shattered destiny with an attempt that failed Razor wire wrapped around her skin, Pulled tight My memories stick to me like photographs of the past, Scarring me Never the thought of how her fate cultivated Her life flashed before my eyes, And there I was on my knees crying Wishing this were only a dream, Covered in blood, with her body in my arms As I spoke my last words to her, I told her the truth, I told her I love you With her last few breaths I guess she thought she could have written down what she would have said Only the blood was dripping down her neck Now here she lies seventeen and dead
