What do you think of when you hear the word?
How does it make you feel?
Does it give you flashbacks?
Is that why you can't speak?

You just sit here
Looking at everything but no one
Take your time I guess
After all, you are my guest

Why look so embarrassed
With those bandages on your arms?
Wait. Are you crying now?
He said while raising a brow


Weren't you supposed to be there for her?
You know..
By her side instead of making her cry.
Or, you like being in power
Watching her not being able to even take a shower.

You don't seem to see what's wrong
But she thinks suicide will make it stop
No, you cannot help her
Unless you wanna be the reason she disappeared forever
