With you by my side, 

 We could have ruled over it all

 We could destroy those that made us feel small 

  So, a month ago, why did I see the scars lined all down your thigh? 

 With your brilliant smile and mind,

 We could do anything that we put our minds to

 Come up with anything and follow through and through

  So, why did I find you with your finger down your throat three weeks ago? 

 A picture of beauty, you are

 Trust me, anybody should be honored just to be able to talk to you

 With you, their wildest dreams could come true!

  So, why did I find the practice notes beneath your bed?

  Was it really just the little demons within your head? 

 I'm just telling you what everybody knew, 

 You're perfect! 

 I'm sorry that you can't see it too... 

 When I found you passed out the week before, 

 I counted the empty pill bottles

 One, two, three, four... 

 I tried to help you breathe yet again. 

 I took the weak punches and curse words. 

 I took the tears upon my shoulder. 

Until we turned to one another and whispered, " Why? "
