A flash of light
A scream
Silence
Gone
I run
Trying not to think
Dead
No, not dead
Gone
Disappeared
I run until I fall
Sobbing on the ground
After a long time
I sleep
I open my eyes
I see a world
With no love
No one who cares
I am numb
Nothing can hurt me
I have a choice
Disappear forever
Or
Live, love, and risk pain
Disappear
I need to disappear
Then I remember
I was once told
"Love can heal"
No I must give love
One Last Chance
