She ran from me

I knew she would

She always knew everything

There he was

The bane of my existence

Yet my only hold to reality is with him

My mouth is kept shut

And I smile at him

He only grins back at me

He knows what he's done

But I bet he won't remember

Whenever something bad happens,

I hold it all for him

He has his protection, I have mine

I go over there

We have school to go to

Not that he'll remember anything

But for me, it was another lie

To be in a craze and watch the people ask questions

That I will never answer

Because I will stay with him to the end

In those crowded halls, I can see them

The hushed words

As they hunched over together

Probably asking questions

More and more that will never be answered

He walks through the doorway

He's the only calm one in there

It's a mess, everyone's not listening

The teacher goes on and on about it

When no one listens to his lessons

That he was making up on the spot

I watch everyone

They seem so unhappy

At least, most of them

Some are elated

But they have to hide it

Just in case they come and ask

what was wrong with them?

Like what they did with Stone

The way he always had a calm attitude

That never fazed him

He just went along with it

That was what he had always done

And that was what he was doing now

Just sitting there

Probably glad that nothing was happening

Like he had nothing to do with it at all

I feel like I'm falling

I haven't left my sanctuary

Ever since that day

I don't know how long it's been

Not long for me

I can't seem to focus

I'm too afraid

I should let it all out

But I know that he could, would, do it again

It didn't matter to him

He didn't care for me

He didn't care for anyone

To him, we were all figures in a smoky cloud

It's dark

I haven't seen the light for so long

At least until the door opens

My breathing stopped

Was it him?

Had he come for me?

But it was only her

The woman that I had come from

I'm worried, she says

I know she isn't

She's hated me

Ever since forever

I was an accident

Never supposed to have come and ruined her life

I destroyed her dreams

It wasn't my fault

But I don't care

Nothing matters anymore

At least until someone comes from behind her

A man

He flicks the switch

I'm blinded instantly

The light is rushing back into my deprived eyes

He's quick to look over me

To say to her that I was depressed

Maybe suicidal

Maybe I need help

Maybe I just need to die

I wish he would say that

It would be so much easier if he did

Someone will come over he says

I don't care

No one will listen anyway

He'll get me before that happens
