A Regretful Rose

I remember you... 

But now you have changed so much. 

We lived as if we were princesses in our own time,

with our Barbie Doll houses and tea sets. 

Soon to be switched with heroin and sex. 

Once upon a time you were dreaming... 

Once upon a time you were believing...

What do you believe now?

Do you even dream anymore?

I'm so frightened for you. 

You are someone I care about. 

To see you doing this makes me disappointed.

I remember your father leaving you... 

I remember the horrible things he tried to do. 

Could you be drinking away your problems you had with him?

Or could it be the day you and I watched your grandfather's life end?

That day will forever live in my mind. 

I remember holding your hand as he took his last breath. 

He wouldn't want you doing this... 

I hope you know. 

He would be here to save you. 

Now, you must save yourself. 

I've tried to help you. 

But you have pushed me, your mother, and your sister away.

Please come back to us. 

You don't need this. 

I was like you once...

I had sex to get that feeling of being wanted...

And I regret it so badly. 

Because someone does want me. 

And someone will want you. 

Give people a chance. 

Look beyond looks. 

Inner beauty is so powerful.

You don't need sex to feel wanted or accepted.

Just be yourself before this... 

I promise you, everything gets easier with time. 

I've been there... 

And I'm never going back.
