The Cookie Girl
We met on chat
 You said you might kill yourself
 And then you logged off
 I don’t know anything else
 
 Please feel better
 I hope for your sake
 That some advice we gave you
 You were able to take
 
 “I gotta go. Thanks for the help. Bye”
 “I hope you feel better”
 And then she was gone for the night
 The only time I ever met her
 
 I wish I could talk to her
 And know she’s okay
 But I probably won’t
 Neither tomorrow nor the next day
 
 I wish I could know the end
 Or her end… hopefully not that
 I hope she was alright
 After that one night
 
 I usually don’t cry
 But this might make me
 I really did try
 To make her happy
 
 What if I didn’t do enough
 And she committed suicide
 That would be rough
 And painful inside
 
 I guess I’ll never know
 Story’s up to me
 I should just make it up
 And end it happily
 
 And so it will be
 That in my head
 She is happy
 Much more than she said
 
 I hope she’s okay
 I really, truly do
 But I will never know
 If she came through.

Mike, I am not going to give you any writing tips in this comment, because that would make the subject seem fake. This poem is written not from the mind, but from your heart and what is real in the world. If cookie girl is still out there, I hope that she sees this and know that you care.
Love, Alix <3
