                    You've got miles to go until you get to me.
                    You've got miles to go until you  sink this low .

                                 "I want you to hit rock bottom"
                          My pearly whites cracked on impact.

A little girl tugged on my dress and said "that boy doesnt love you"
         I squinted up at the sky and said on a sigh "I believe you're right."
To my surprise she had tears painting her face.
             "Don't give up. You dont care about something until you've lost it."
When my eyes refocused she was gone.
                           I sat down on a bench and on my left saw a sign that said
"Welcome to rock bottom. Rain's always falling, tears are always on the brink of our eyelids."""
                              
                              Calm down.
                              I can't go back.
                              I'll just wait for you.


Every morning I shut my eyes and prayed
                                           "Jesus Christ, take me home."
                              
                              My lungs are deteriorating.
                              I stop breathing for longer periods at a time now.
                              I'm getting nervous.

I lay on the ground and let the rain sink into my clothes.
I was drenched and I stared at the steps that a person could only go down, never up.
My breath caught. You were taking them two at a time.
You looked worried as you ran towards me.
"Thank God you're finally here."

I dragged in my last breath and wanting you ceased.
                                                (By the way, you just hit your milemark.)

I looked over an angel's shoulder to get a better view of the scene far below.
                         On the tips of my toes I still couldnt see a thing.
                         I took Heaven's backstairs and walked closer.
                         I'm so dry despite the rain pounding down on me.

                                                   I looked down blankly at the girl you were holding.
                       You ran your fingers through her hair and rocked her back and forth.
       My heart broke in half when I realized the girl's face was the one I always saw
                                                                                    when I looked into the mirror.
   
   The owner walked up and stated
   "Let go. The wind is still making her hair dance, but the lights left her eyes."
   He grabbed the lifeless hand and pulled my body away.

             Your tears got washed out by the weather.

                            I tried to touch you, but I couldn't.
                            You looked right through me, not really focused on anything.
                            I stood there with you waiting for the rain to stop.
                            Waiting for something that wasn't possible.

Ohmygoodgollygosh. :ohnoes: :faint:

You're simply, the BEST writer I believe I've ever...um...seen. Er..heard. Read. Well, you're the best I've ...hmm. 'Experienced' so far. And I'm pretty sure you're going to stay the best.


As you can see, I'm not good with words (unlike you). :yum:
