Just Another Statistic

by Amanda Ghosties   Mar 11, 2009


Cigarette Stained With Lipstick
Cheeks Stained With Tears
Heart Broken Girl Crying On The Floor
Wise Beyond Her Years

She Turns Her Back To Her Loved Ones
&& Wishes For Her Death
She Screams Out His Name
As She's Breathing Her Last Breathe

Razors Stained With Crimson Red
Scattered Across The Floor
Note Clung Tightly In Her Hand
"Life's Not Worth Living Anymore"

Her Heartbeat Begins To Slow
As The Blood Pumps From Her Wrist
Her Life Flies Before Her Eyes
Remember The First Kiss

The Phone Goes Unanswered
Her Head Begins To Ache
It's Her Mother Who Is Calling
To Say She'll Be Home Late

But, The Girl Remains Where She Is
Her Wrists Are Cut To Shreads
Her Mother Comes Home At Midnight
&& Sees Her Daughter Dead

Her Brother Awakes To The Screams
&& Runs To Ther Mothers Side
Frantically Reading Over The Note
To See Why She Has Died

Police Come Knocking At The Door
To See This Ugly Sight
Her Mother Shaking As She Cries
Holding Her Brother Tight

Minutes Turn To Hours
Before The Police Men Turn To Leave
Just A Case Of Teenage Depression
Is What They All Believe

Her Family Calls The Boy Up
To Tell Them What He Had Done
They Beg Him To Tell Them Why
What Happened Can't Be Undone

Weeks Pass && They Lay The Girl To Rest
Crying Over Her Grave
"A Fallen Angel With A Heart Of Gold"
She's A Life We Cannot Save

But, If You Look Into Your Hearts
&& Understand How Her Loved Ones Feel
'Cause, The Hurt From Losing Someone Close
Is A Pain That Can't Be Healed

Reach Out While You Still Can
To Those That Need You There
&& Let The Ones You Love The Most
Know You Really Care

&& For All Those Guys That Think
It's Right To Break A Heart
Just Remember What It Feels Like
When Your Own Hearts Been Torn Apart

If One Person Let Her Know
That She Was Really Loved
She Wouldn't Have Died This Way
&& Be Watching From Above
