re-count:

a day that haunts me
in my dreams and in my nights
i see it still when i close my eyes

the perfectly blue sky told me
it would be a perfectly normal day
the sky lied.

on the way to school
staring at the ground
i walked.

and walked.
and walked.
stop.

lost in thought, i saw
a girl sitting, about my age
on the rooftop all alone

she was still.
a statue of silence
my heart stopped- numb with shock

because she fell
she threw herself down
so down she went, with a scream

[or was that from me?]

and there, she died.

she lay there.
i stood there.
tears unbidden

falling for the fallen


**i swear, it's fiction!!
