Kaitlyn

I read of a young girl in Georgia who took her life. My heart is broken

Eyes brightly blue, yet darker than black.
Your lips, a red hue, you turn face and show back.
Your sorrow is thick with the angst of a girl
I was once in those shoes.

Caught in a roiling twist of insanity,
You feel a you are lacking from the rest of humanity.
Sweet heart, angel, beautiful child,
My
Heart
Breaks
Faster than your tears can drop

Your last breath before the snap,
Your cries of sorrow, your pain so deep
Your final goodbye as you name off names
You do the bravest, craziest, most selfish thing


Leap.
