In the end, it won't matter how many breaths you take, yet how many moments took your breath away.


Smiles stretched so far and wide
Our love numbering the stars in the sky
You and I were best friends
You and I were best friends

And then one day
She came along
Piercing green eyes
Red hair long
It didn't matter
You told me I was your best friend
You told me I was your best friend

Then jealousy took me up in its grasp
It made my world spin
It made heart ache
Because what I wanted I threw away
I wanted to be your best friend
I wanted to be your best friend

Our world spun, our lives were rocked.
You forgave my jealous deeds
Yet with her you laughed, and as I read
These hateful emails sent to me
I realize I was wrong

I wanted nothing more than amnesia
A simple way to forget
The tears
The hurt
The hate
The pain
Did I want to be your best friend?
Was it worth the pain?

And now as teardrops fall like rain
Sobs racking my body
My heart wrenching for a re-do
A start over button
A second chance

And now I feel it was me
The fat and ugly worthless girl
Who deserves this awful fate

And as I sit and write this down
My pencil shakes
My paper tears
The words, unreadable
As if they never existed

It's broken
It's broken
