Eternally Dead

She was supposedly the best friend.
You know?
The one that will be there until the end
The one that would never hurt her
But jealousy got the better
The best friend chose the guy
Over the girl that wept and cried
Didn't eat, but started to die
Whithering away hoping to one day win
To be just bone and skin
Covered in scars to fix the pain
Covering her tears with the rain
Stranded and staring up at the stars
Wishing she could somehow hide the scars

Sick of this pain, and no one will stop it
Numb as novacaine, she thinks no one will miss
Sick of the diet pills, the looks and the marks
Sick of controlling all the pain, it hurts

She lies on the bed
Happy dreams of being dead

But then the phone rings, the machine gets it
A familiar voice, so smooth and so fit
Tears rolling down her eyes
It's the friend, the liar in disguise
"I'm sorry for what I did,
It was wrong.
He was a jerk, I've been waiting so long
to talk to you again,
I wish it could be
like it was before just you and me.
I don't know if you're there but I hope you are.
I'm on my way over, my dad has the car.
So keep the door unlocked and we'll have a nice talk."
And with that she put the phone on the hook
The girl didn't hear half of what her friend said
Asleep on the floor, eternally dead
The friend walked in, calling her name
Realizing her lying just wasn't a game.
