• This pain that wrapped around my heart,

    Keeps on tugging, ripping, shreading, tearing me apart.

    Will this ever heal,

    The pain I no longer want to feel?

    Try as I might, it won't go away.

    It lingers forever, it might as well stay.

    Numb is my body, reeling is my mind.

    Where are the days of yesterday, so long gone behind?

    The love that I feel will never be complete,

    Stored in my heart, in a dark crevass- it's retreat.

    Mind of my mind, body of my body - it's all around me.

    Surround me! Surround me! Hear my quieted plea!

    I surrender to you, demons of the heart.

    You whisper in my ear, "I can break you apart."

    Slowly I fall, my decent is great.

    My life silky shadows, my feelings of hate.

    I live this way,

    Day after day.

    I let myself wander away,

    There was no more tomorrow or today.

    An imaginary line rests in my hand

    I grip it, it is my guide from the quicksand.

    How deeply I fell, how darkly I grew.

    My version of hell grants my pain all anew.

    I tug the line, what will happen to me?

    I can take this no more, demons let me be!

    I break in a way, no person can

    I break and crumble the life of this human.

    Who was I? What am I?

    I lift my head high and look to the sky.

    For once, my life, living was something I wanted to do.

    I will go on living, if only for you.
