One Two Three...

    Don't cry. You promised. Dry your tears. Calm down. Count to three. One Two Three...

    Shhhh... It's okay. Everything will be alright. Don't cry. Dry your tears. One Two Three...

    Too late. Tears are running down. Sliding down ever so slowly. One Two Three...

    Drip drop. Splish splash. They splash on the ground.

    Wet patches on the white ground. One Two Three...

    They look just like the red droplets on the snow white ground.

    Beautiful, breathtaking, deadly. One Two Three...

~~~

    Closer and closer. One foot in front of the other. One Two Three...

    The drawer opens and a knife comes out. One Two Three...

    Ruby red blood wells up in the shallow hollows. One Two Three...

    Drops fall down from the overflowing cut. One Two Three...

~~~

    The pain was still lingering, still tingling, still prickling.

    Right where the punches had landed.

    Where the slashes once were. Where the scars remain.

    One Two Three...

~~~

    I still remember it. That day when it happened.

    They were standing there. All of them. Yelling out insults. Giving encouragement...

    But not to me. Not to me.

    ~~~

    "Are you okay?"

    I look up. Everything is blurred. I see three images, three people.

    Oh wait, there's only one. The tears are still running, slipping from my eyes.

    I wipe them off quickly.

    "I'm fine," I say. But my head is screaming out in pain.

    No. I'm not fine.... How could you think that?

~~~

    That was ages ago.

    ~~~

    I tried to fix it. I tried to forget it. I tried to forgive. I tried...

    I really did... One Two Three...

    I don’t understand, it was such a beautiful day. The day that I died.

    I broke into pieces, like shattered glass. never to be put back together. One Two Three...

    ~~~

    Never again. Never again. Three Two One...
