Another Victim

Swinging from the rafters...
Thirteen loops in the rope.
Another casualty of a cruel world.
Another victim of lost hope.

Life's lesson has been taught
But nothing has been learned.
Finding out the hard way,
Playing with fire will get you burned.

She looks like an angel...
Floating in the air.
No more life in her eyes.
Only a cold, dead stare.

My face was the last she'd seen.
She left this world wondering, "Why?"
Why did I bring her here?
Why did I let her die?
