I am breath among shadows
Falling before death
His laughter bitter
Spiteful
Sour
Sullen
Morose
The taste of such laughter sharp
Resentful
The surprise of a car
The hit snaps a shoulder
The neck cracks forward
She drives on
Drinking tainted tears
Wondering why
Why she still lives
Why she tries
Why her tears keep falling
The yells of her sister poison
She sits among death
Writing a letter
She does not apologize
She writes in hatred
Her blood slowly flowing
Five people will weep
The nonusers will drop
Their knees will bruise
Their voices will grow with
anger,
They will scream
Promise
Promise
Promise
THAT PROMISE IS NOW BROKEN
A PROMISE IS ALWAYS AT THE TIP
OF A LIP,
A FEELING THAT BRINGS SLEEP
A FEELING OF HAPPINESS
A FEELING OF ACCOMPLISHMENT
YOU KNOW DEEP DOWN IT IS
UNTRUTHFUL,
When the letter is written
Please forgive me
Please forgive me
Please forgive me
Know that you have been loved
I will always
Always
Always
Always
Love you
The letter of a shadow
Falls wet with tears
The tears of a friend
Forever changed
Forever changed
Forever changed
