I’ll take your hand,
After you've put down the knife.
All you are is an addict[angel]
Fallen again.
But I’ll lift you up.
And I know, baby, I know
They’re trying to steal your wings[knives]
And they're trying to lock you up.
They owe you so much …
But I’ll kiss your face
And wipe the blood off your cheeks,
Wrap my arms around you[maniackillerpsychopath]
And whisper in your ear,
Because everyone deserves to be whispered to,
No matter how many screams they’ve heard.
You can be helped.
You can be stopped.
They’re treating you like you’re out of control
But I know
Your heart and mine align
And bullets can pierce anyone’s flesh
Just as easily.
So tell me how you feel,
Because I don’t want to hear
Another goddamn[empty] “good”
For the rest of my life.
They say you might just kill me
And I don’t really care
Because your answer is worth dying for.
Tell me something more than
Screaming, puking children
Messy houses, busy jobs
Cups of coffee and angry bosses.
Tell me of true love[deathpleasure]
And what’s beyond material.
You are so much deeper
Than any of them could ever be.
I don’t blame you for drowning.

Beautiful
I love this!!! It really wasn't what I was expecting AT ALL
I just adore this write, it was so good. I was hoping to get some Chuck Palahniuk entries, I just love his writing, and I thought you really brought the quote out well, it was so good, I couldn't even tell you used that option until I read your author notes, and that's a compliment.
Thanks for entering.
