a time my world changed

I didn't see it in your eyes
neither did he
but, she did

Please, don't be mad
it would have happened anyway
she just couldn't wait until the weekend was over

I remember that day so clearly
that day the thing I lived for turned into a hollow shell
you

I think about you everyday
a reminder dangling from my neck
a jingling so loud and crisp

the luckiest day of the century
led to tears
and shaking shoulders

I saw something in your eyes that day
a four letter word
HELP

you fought
drawing away from the needle
as though you knew

you laid there, still warm
eyes empty, staring
refusing to close
