POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This one is a story about what lies and betrayal can do to you and it's written like from a child's perspective since the girl seems to be a little naive while she knows that her guy is lying and cheating. She still loves him, while the other girl makes him immovable and he doesn't or can't do anything to help his girl. She sees only one way out and before the other girl can kill her, she decides to do it herself and she believes dying at the side of the one she loves is still a good thing.
Inspired by the style of Melanie Martinez, the story of Cleopatra and her suicide with Marc Anthony and my own life. Come play :)
