THE VOICE IN HER HEAD

I watched as she embraced her secret poison

And saw as the knife caressed her finger 

With a prick, but she ignored the lesson.

She told me to go and not linger,

For her mind had been made up after all

And it'd be a waste to stop her,

Since only she could make the final call.

I tried all I could to buy her over;

Told her it didn't have to end here

And that things will eventually get better

If only she would let go of her inherent fear,

Pursue her dreams, and be a goal getter.

But she scoffed and called me a fool;

She aimed for her jugular while I screamed to no end.

I could only watch as Hades made her its tool.

For alas! I was only the voice in her head.
