Why did you leave me today?

At twenty one thirty,
and far away,
she made up her mind
and couldn’t stay. 
 
Her pain was too much,
for her to bear.
I tried to reach out,
but she didn’t care.
 
At just seventeen,
she had been through hell,
Could not escape
her molested cell.
 
Nowhere to go,
seeing darkness around
No escape for this girl, 
only hell bound.
 
I begged her to stay,
she said go away,
Why do you care?
I bowed down to pray.
 
She grab the blade,
going deeper every time,
Slashed her wrist,
I cried and I cried.
 
A thousand miles away,
I am now in somber.
Why did you leave me?
I will always remember.
