Before I Fall - Part 4
7 Days Change
Repeating this day the past seven days
Waking up
Driving to school
Getting rose after rose
Hearing bell after bell
Ever time almost exactly the same
The difference depends only on me
This time will be the last
I know how to end this loop
That girl that started the silence
That girl who interrupted that party
Seven times over, seven times again
I must save her
I must sacrifice
I must be the one who stands up
I walk towards her
HER, not IT
She’s drenched
She’s wet
She’s ashamed
I look in her eyes
I see her pain
I know what she’s about to do
A truck is coming
She stares and smiles
She takes the first dreaded step
I take a breath
I take THE last breath
I take THE step.
The horn blares
The lights burst
The screams shout
I push
She’s free
THEN LIGHT
nothing
