when she can't go on anymore she stops trying
Blood seeps out of the cuts on her thighs as she watches until there's nothing left except her empty pain. Her blood wasn't colored red, but it was colored black like a broken soul. No one knows what's going on with her, they can't tell that she's stuck fighting a war within herself. They all expect her to be able to smile through out the pain.

Over the days her glow slowly starts to dim. She becomes too weak to fight all the demons that are trapped in her thoughts; she's about to just give up. She has tried to tell, everyone that once said that they loved her, that she's about to break, but none of them seemed to listen.

Cold and numb, she sits in a pool of blood that surrounds her. She stays frozen on the bathroom floor as the memories come rushing back to her like the waves rushing against the shoreline. Everyone slowly began to show her why she couldn't trust anyone even though she is still letting people in. Trusting them when she should't

She jumps when a stroke of lighting flashes outside her window. The rain drowns out the sounds of her cries. Soundlessly it seems like everyone in her house just disappears or maybe its her that did. She'll never know because she never got up from the bathroom floor. She stays in the bathroom with the door closed so she could feel save once again. She can finally feel protected.

As her time draws to an end, she writes a letter to everyone so they can find out how they helped her decide to end this. The words that were never spoken burned straight into her heart. The cuts grow deeper as her mind drowns in the past.

She smiles when she drops to knife as she finishes the last cut. The blood continues to flow as she slowly starts to drift away from the cruel reality. If anyone were to walk in they'll find that she has given up. They'll see her lifeless body on the floor with the notes just in her reach and if they pick up the notes they'll find out that she written them in her own blood.
