Why Did Life Have To Be Like This

By Nadia C.

I saw him there...

with her.

She turned around,

So I kept walking.

Such pain I felt.

My heart started to cry inside.

On the outside, not a single drop.

I felt my cheek,

And it was wet.

I tried to hide,

Because I was about to collide.

I was angry.

Mad.

Sad, and jealous.

If somebody could tell

They would have to have

Looked into my throat,

Because it would be knotted.

I heard the door slam shut

Behind me.

I felt my cheeks getting wetter.

I had a knife,

I brought it out.

Red water came out of my wrist.

I waited and waited.

Moments later I collapsed to the floor.

Cops came in through the door.

One of them checked my pulse,

Then he said, "She’s dead."

With a blanket, they covered me.

I never saw

Daylight again.

Or him.

Who I loved so much.

I hope for him the best.

I know that I flunked the hardest test.

Sometimes in Heaven I think,

"Why did life have to be like this."
