The words started to come
The voices started to scream
There was no way to shut them out
No way to heal the doubt
I layed down a paper and pen
I tried my best so you would read
and would forgive
What I was doing felt wrong
But the voices said it was right
Hot water ran into the tub
I layed down and let the heat consume me
I pulled out the familiar blade
A scarlet line of symmetry straight through the crossed roads
Right down the street
I started to get weak
I cried one last time
Hoping you wont hate me for releasing my soul
I'm about to drift away
The water is an ocean of blood
Then the door slams open
I'm tugged out of my death
Familiar arms wrap me in a towel
You hold my face up to familiar eyes
You ask "Why?"
And I can't even speak
My mind is lost
My eyes are flooded
I fall into your arms and let you save me
Your kisses wake me from my trance
The spell that controlled my life
You slay all my voices
Silence them ceaslessly
You heal my scars and wounds
Internal and external pain
You love me for me
Voices and detestation lost
Love and sweet whispers gained
You are my love you are my heart
You are my life's revolution hero
