She's Quiet...Something's Wrong...

Yesterday, we laughed and joked
Jeered and played
We sat on the swings
And talked till darkness swayed

Yesterday, she screamed her songs
Me by her side
We ran through the mall
Sprinting, no rules to which we abide

x~x~x~x~x~x~x

But today...
She's not.

x~x~x~x~x~x~x

Today, I saw her sitting alone
She held herself tightly
Today we sat in silence
I saw that she only breathed slightly

Today, she cried during free time
She ran from my arms
It's as though...
She thinks the world only harms

x~x~x~x~x~x

We were once best friends
We were once partners in crime
Now we don't speak
We're anything but sublime

She's quiet...
Something's wrong.
I miss my friend so much...
She feels as though she doesn't belong...

x~x~x~x~x~x

Tomorrow, I'll cry...
She'll be gone, gone, gone
Tomorrow I'll regret...
Not knowing what was wrong

Tomorrow, she'll be buried in black
I'll weep in the pews.
Tomorrow she'll watch over me
...He father now on the news...
