The blade that lays beside me
The gun that points to my head
All my simple salvation
Or at least so I used to believe
I would always get so close
To fulfilling all my dreams
Then my strength and will would falter
And I started back at the beginning again
One day I followed through
As the blade parts my skin under the pressure
Then all I see is red, as it flows out of my body
A light, darkness, then nothing but weightlessness and alone
My savior steps out in a blinding light
He is the only thing I see, the only thing I want to see
There is only one problem with my redeemer
The tears that steak his beautiful face
How could I have done this?
Not to myself, but to my love
I am nothing without him, yet I cause him so much pain
Never again will I trust myself with something so important
He is my everything, my life in the form of another
Everything Im not, he fills the whole in my soul
The feelings I feel, the emotions I learn
From nothing less than this one amazing person
I step out of my darkness, out of my corner
The one thing that trusted me in my life
Has now been replaced by another
As every thought, every feeling, everything is replaced by him
Only one person matters, theres only one thing I will protect
I am nothing without him, back where I started
And I will keep that at all cost, because I love him
I love him, more than life itself, and far beyond that even

"When you sleep, your body marks the time. Yesterday dies in the dark; tomorrow wakes. Eyes open, you know. The body ages, the hourglass empties, death approaches, time is devoured but not lost."
Excerpt from "Skinned" by Robin Wasserman
