Those nights

His phone chimed  "you have one new message "
He smiled and his eyes lit up....it was from the girl with the pretty smile
He read
"Have you ever had one of those nights?
Where all you want to do is crawl out of your skin and just hide
Your insecurities bubbling to the surface while you're drowning
In faceless whispers and memories of every hurtful jibe
Do you ever stare in the mirror and feel the pain grow inside you as hate gives way to tears?
Have you ever sat beneath the shower, clutching your knees and begging it to end
Questions popping up in your head, echoing in your mind with no one to respond
Why me?
have you ever had one of those nights
Where you question the worth of your life........."
He felt the wetness on his cheek before he saw the tears
The long drive to her apartment felt like a race against time.
