Skipping stones. The water ripples out. I watched you gather yourself as the smoke left your mouth.
You cried the whole ride home. Your head on the glass. Your fists on the dash. I know you didn’t sleep the entire night. I know the windshield couldn’t keep you inside.
Asphalt skin. I watched you go. Your eyes concealed the night. I’ll tell your friends whose fault it was, who really took your life.
Your soul escaped. It made its way far from where we hid. I know there’s somewhere deep in me that sees what could have been.
Lifeless, now. I wish you well. You cough with life’s regrets. Send her home or anywhere. We just can’t lose her yet.
