Victoria's Secret
I just so happen to know
This girl by the name of Victoria
One of my better friends, a better-than-ever friend
Ever since scraping my knee on the playground
In 2nd grade, sweet little Victoria came to my aid
And ever since, we've been the best of the best
Not a contest of who I would pick over the rest
But ever since high school, she began acting out to be cool
Acting more whore-ish
Piercing on her bottom lip
Random kissing in public
And I honestly had enough of it
Victoria and I then finally to conversate about it
I was curious about it, and hopefully could help out
But then those words came out: "My time's about to run out".
I was struck with confusion and worried to the fullest
Victoria's eyes start to water, my heart began to falter
Voice cracking, she uttered, "I have AIDS".
I could feel she was lost and afraid
Her feelings and emotions were spayed
And I was just as speechless as the next guy
Not knowing what to do, all I could do was try
And console her, be a friend and be there for her
She swore to me not to tell anyone
I accepted it, kept it, cause she's not just anyone
Things afterwards were very awkward
I wanted to tell someone but I didn't want to hurt her
My feelings were in the air
My words were filled with despair
My emotions wanted to keep quiet
But my heart felt the need to say it was dire
So I then told her parents, right in front of her
The way her eyes stared into my soul so coldly
I felt like I made the biggest mistake ever
But I perhaps lost my best friend's trust
Not very clever
The very next day, I spotted Victoria outside of school
I tried to talk to her to see if everything was still cool
Victoria then snapped and pulled a gun on me
My hands flew in the air
My stomach turned flips on me
My words stumbling and trembling, I tried to get her to reconsider
Her actions, pretty volatile, although I knew her reason for being bitter
As she lowered the gun from in front of my face
She got teary eyed again
Look at me with a smile, crying, said "I'm sorry"
In a split second, she turned the gun on herself
And off it went in her throat
As her body dropped to the ground
I dropped to my knees
I begged and I pleaded for help
But it came too late
Her blood covered my hands
Her death covered my heart
In a cloud of uncertainty
Regret, and extreme guilt
The flowers on her grave are the only tokens of expression
For how I felt, now that she's gone
Victoria's secret will never pass on...
