Crystals
Small, glistening crystals fell from her baby blues
Every, kiss, every touch
"I love you, I love you..."
All lies
In love at 15
Or so she thought
All his pictures
Memories of hatred
Nostalgia surrounded her, suffocating her
This was her only escape, "her salvation"
Half of her urged
"Do it, just do it!"
The other half conjured up faces
Mom's, Dad's, and her sister's
But she couldn't stay
Not for them
Not for her friends
Not even for herself
So she took "her salvation" her hands
The cold metal felt good in her sweaty palms
She rested her fingers on the trigger
A few more small crystals fell
Hitting the earth like bombs
She grabbed the gun
Held it to her chest
Her hands shook violently
As her voice wavered she whispered
"It's all yours now..."
She stared down
Thump, thump, thump
Her heart, her life source
"I don't want it."
