Ashley
That's what they call me
My face so sweet
But I am so haunting
I started at birth
And I will end at death
But I hope soon that this won't be
My very last breath
It was a lonely night
And my phone began ringing
On the other line was Stacy
In the background, there was singing
She said, "Come to a party!
It's going to be great!"
I asked what time
She said half past eight
I ran from my house
Just leaving my coat
This party for this night
I would devote

At the party
All was serene
And I was pretty sure
That we would stay clean
But out of the blue
A laughing voice came
Peter was shouting
"Hey, let's play a game!"
We passed around the needle
Each with a dare
Just injecting the poison
Without any care
Finally it came to me
My body was so tense
My friends urged me on
Obviously, I had no sense
But I did it
I did it and it was done
But a few hours later,
Things weren't so fun

I was in the hospital
Clutching my chest
It was so hard to breathe
And I was trying my best
My father was silent
I heard my mom cry
And I heard the doctor say
"This girl is going to die."
My world was darkening
My breathing was light
I wouldn't go
Without a fight
But it was no use
I was now dead
Not a single little heartbeat
Not a thought in my head
And it was all from this party
Which I just couldn't decline
And my pressuring peers
Who caused me die.
