Save Me

Two words, six letters
Disturbing impact
On each now scarred soul
With whom they come intact

Without your assistance
I'm going to fall
In the same abyss
That started it all

I need you right now
With each rasping breath
The fire looks stunning
It's blaze whispering death

I want to submerge
Myself in that flame
Surrender, let go
Relinquish the game

The heat rises up
Flickering shadows climb the wall
I move a little closer
Commence the losing brawl

Fingers draw close
To the hot wax with glee
The words form on my lips
"Somebody, help me.."

Bad thoughts are forming
Pelting me like hail
Me against my conscience
I know, I will fail

Reach out, touch the fire
It won't hurt, just burn
You don't feel a thing
For pain, you yearn

Go on a bit further
Lean in there close
After all, no one knows
And won't, I suppose

You're not about
To tell anyone
It's the rush, and the thrill
It might even be fun

I wouldn't know
As I feel no pain
You've got nothing to lose
It's all about gain

They won't be mad
It's just the one time
There now, inch nearer
Reach out towards the shine

Don't stop now,
I tell the voice no
But all at once
Can't keep my eyes off the glow

Strong, but not enough
To pull away from the urge
Of escaping for a moment
On an agonizing splurge

A strange presence stops me
And I fall to the ground
Reaching out for you
With a two-syllable sound

You're there by my side
Talking me into trust
Saving me from
The deathly thought-gust

You don't leave me alone
Until you're sure all is well
There's no way to thank you
Saved from my own hell

There's no way to tell you
That all of your help
Saved me from harm
Saved me from myself

That's deep, amazing, and scary all at once.

Thanks... I was... Really depressed last night. Like, really... As in, lay on the bed, stare at the wall, and don't eat... :-/

Uhuh.... At least you got better though, if only a little bit.

I've never been so grateful for somebody to be my Superman... That was the first time I've ever felt the need to simply say, "Help me..."

Hm..... *Not sure how to respond*

S'okay... I can't really respond to that, either.

Yeah, I couldn't quite come up with a response.

I just had to throw it out, because I've never... I don't know. I felt like it was a step in the right direction.

Well, that's great then.
