Diamante (Dia)

I never suspected a thing

I was so young and she was still blossoming

she hid it well I have to admit

and I blame myself every day for not seeing she was on the brink

My cousin was about fourteen

I never saw what was on her screen

she got bullied at school and online

even though she never did shit those people at school made her want to resign

from living and breathing and having a good time

she was so great and deserved an amazing lifetime

but those idiotic motherfuckers took her from me

and one day a ten-year-old me

skipped up the steps in her house happily

I opened the door and what I could see

was something ill never forget

just the thought of it makes me sweat

she was hanging by her neck

and on her arms, I saw pure red

I dropped down on my knees

and hoped she would wake up like in the movies

then I let out a piercing scream

then I saw black and a flashing of sirens then suddenly I'm in a hospital waiting room

the doctor comes out, and now she needs a tomb

she was gone

forever, out of my life

now and forever I'm traumatized

and I remember her funeral, where she layed in a dress that she would have liked

and seeing her had me there paralyzed

but now she resting in peace

and living in my memories

the thought that I should have kept her safe

haunts me to this very day
