You sat and watched as she inhaled the smoke
You watched her overdose
She never wrote a will, said she had nothing and no one to leave her
Nothing to
What about you?
You watched her hands shake like cold
Her blank stare
Her cries and pleas for a better tomorrow
What have you done?
Now she’s gone
As promised, left nothing behind
You watched but never helped
Wait you did help-- her kill herself
By slowing intoxicating her body with
Every imaginable substance
You left her for dead
Did you even realize
that you assisted her in suicide?
So you’ll both boil in Hades torture cell
I suppose it suits you rather well
