WONDER
she wonders why she bleeds
she wonders why she cries
she wonders if he cares
she wonders if she'll die
she wonders if pain is normal
she wonders if its ok
she wonders if he should die
she wonders if she's throwing her life away
she wonders how he could
she wonders if he can't
she wonders where the bruise came from
she wonders if its what he meant
she wonders if he's dead
she wonders why she did it
she wonders if the gun's still there
she wonders if she hid it
she wonders if she should be scared
she wonders about a knife
now she cannot wonder
for she has taken her own life
