When Forever Ends

She lived a life of solitude.
She lived a life of chains.
She lived a life in which her head,
was always down in shame

Her home life was a battle zone,
parents fighting world war three.
She had no place that she could run
to escape her misery.

The kids at school rejected her
because she wasn't beautiful.
She only had the perfect boy
to cry her problems to.

He saw her for who she was,
and loved her just the same.
The two years she had spent with him
were the happiest she'd seen.

He was always there to help her
through the toughest times.
Their two-year anniversary
was on this Valentine's.

She was so happy there with him
on this oh-so-special date,
but as he took her hands in his
his voice began to shake.

He said things she'd always feared,
each stabbing at her heart.
She shook her head rejecting words
that they'd be better off apart.

She looked into his eyes,
but all that she could see,
were the tears he blinked away
as he stood up to leave.

Her mind screamed at him to sit
and fight for what they had.
She knew that he was crying,
when his tear fell to her hand

She'd based her future on the fact
that they would be together.
She thought she'd always be with him
when he promised her forever

He left her then with his last words
to echo in her head.
As if he'd read her mind he said,
"Sometimes forever has to end,"

Broken heart reliving memories,
time and time again.
Each cut getting deeper,
trying to bleed away her pain.

Every day her mind replayed
the painful things he'd said.
Until the day she grabbed a gun
and put it to her head.

A two line note with this to say
was found beside her bed:
"I always thought I'd live forever,
sometimes forever has to end..."
