Do you want to do something bad?

The 7 words that etched his fate,

Yes, yes I did I wanted to be bad 


first words that popped into my mind,

Consequences, 

Last words he said 

I love you.


Thinking it should have been me, 

Wishing I could have said the truth,

If only I said something before losing him.


Potentially,

Probably not, 

But I could get him back, 

Maybe if I pray?


Pray to who?

I’ve already lost him,

We’re just waiting

For them to deliver the news,

We can wait, 

And wait, 

But we all know the truth, 

What's the point?


leaving, tears welling up in my eyes,

I never meant to fall this hard 

For him.


Tears streamed down my face,

I wiped my eyes,

Trying to make the tears go away

Only to make them fall harder.


Suddenly I remembered everytime I was sad,

And he made me laugh, 


The times we'd talk

Until the sun came out the time we’d sneak out,

The night’s there was too much to talk about,

The nights we fall asleep on call,


The movies we’d watch,

The hugs he gave

When I was down,

How he’d protect me

From anything, 

And anyone,

Even if it didn’t bother me. 


Do you want to do something bad?

No! no

I don’t want anyone else to hurt!
