i should of known

Her smile used to light up the room

 now it's all doom and gloom 

she used to wear short shirts

 now it's all long jumpers and flowy skirts

 i should of knew something was wrong 

when she didn't turn up that day 

sometimes i just wish

 i could of known was was wrong 

and why she thought that was the only way 

i should of done something i should of known she was hurting

 and now 6ft down she lay

 all because i never cared to ask what was wrong 

I just watched her slowly waste away.

The funeral was the next sunday 

She was put in a short sleeve dress the guests dressed in their best clothes

Why had it come to this i still think to this day. 

everyone was just looking at her wishing she would just awake, 

hoping it was all a dream and not the reality 

of a 13 year old girl 

taking her life before her birthday.
