She Hoped, But
"You deserve the entire universe."
"You are amazing, and if only you could see yourself the way I saw you, you'd believe that."
"I'm always here for you, because I love you to bits, and I'll never stop loving you. No matter what you become."
"Suicide isn't worth it; you'd lose so much! The talent you were given, the love we have for you; the treasure trove hidden inside you!"
Those were words she'd seen before
Sometimes, she'd written them
Other times other people wrote them,
But it was always for someone else;
Someone who truly suffered worse than she did.
But that didn't stop her from wishing
That someday
Someway,
Someone would take her hand
And say those very same words.
She hoped that on a day
When she truly felt like ending her life
On a day when she was just done with it all
On a day when the pain was too much to bear alone
She hoped that like in the many fairytales
And fictions
And poems she'd read
And the pictures she'd drawn
Someone cared about her the way she cared about them
Someone would notice that her soul was going to be crushed soon
That her heart was plummeting into hell
And take her hand.
She hoped that just as she teetered on the brink of death,
A caring hand would reach out and grasp her wrist and pull her back
And a voice would say,
"You don't have to die today."
She hoped, but that was all she could do,
Because that person
Apparently didn't exist.
