Broken

By Cornelia Gail

I look down at myself laying there on the floor lifeless. I see the EMTs resuscitating me. They can't even get a lifeline. I thought he loved me, that's what he told me. I'm laying here dying and I still love him. I can't believe my best friend betrayed me, it's all her fault. How could the two people that meant the world to me, hurt me like this. In this here life there was no trust, no loyalty, no respect. This here life was Broken.
