"Hallie, is there anything, 
that you want to say?
Before we bow our heads,
and pray?"

Everyone turned to look,
I wonder what they see.
A tear drenched girl,
who just lost her best friend, possibly?

I got up to stand,
and stumbled a bit.
My legs couldn't support me,
but I couldn't sit. 

I had to get up there,
to say my part. 
I don't have anything prepared,
i'm just going to speak from the heart.

I looked at the sea of people,
very few even blink.
They were all waiting,
I could feel my heart starting to sink.

"I dont understand, 
why you did this to me. 
To all of us here,
to your family.

Was your life that bad?
To throw it all away?
Just because we had a fight,
was it that bad of a day?

If you needed someone to talk to,
I was there, i'm your best friend.
But with that one bullet,
you had it end. 

You think the gun only shot one person?
Well, you're wrong, it shot two. 
Maybe you can't see it, 
But on the inside, I die too. "
