Shhhhhh

She whispered
a shy single cry
In hopes that someone would hear
yet instead
all they said was
are you going to the game?
she pushed back the tears
trying to spill
and said no, I don't wanna
after school
she walked home
silently in the rain
cursing her name
her destination in sight
she darted for the rusty gates
that held in the ghosts
she made her way to the back
where her best friend lay
cold deep underground
she knelt down weeping
please come back
in the distance she could hear
her whisper
come with me
as she often did
after school
trying to get her friend to go with her to the place she is now
the cliff side cemetery
that's where I will be buried okay?
I guess so.. why?
You'll see
that was only a few days ago
she whispered to her friend i'll see you soon
as she ran to the top of the hill
and fell off the cliff
laughing hysterically, smiling a joker's smile
death apparent in her eyes
as her body landed on the jagged rocks

i've been thinking and i'm not sure what it is but i feel like the back story to the girls is them fighting self harm together and one just couldn't take it anymore and killed herself and the other friend couldn't live with it any more. i think they used to go there often and talk and make it their secret hiding place from the world it made them feel better to be with ones not breathing since that is how they felt...
