How Could You?
Graph Desino
I don’t understand how you could be so selfish.
Leaving everything you care about
Behind like that.
Making me worry.
Making me cry until I can’t hear your name without choking back
Tears and vomit.
How could you?
Every time I close my eyes, I see your lifeless body,
Hanging limp in your bedroom,
Or your blood soaking your bedsheets
As the gun falls from your limp fingers.
It’s so awful, I don’t even want to think
That it could be real.
But I have to. I won’t run or hide
Like you did.
You were my lifeline.
One of my closest friends.
How could you?
