This light...

it grows fainter and fainter.

It's just dim enough for me

to see my breath.

The darkness is so welcoming.

Embrassing me in eternal

blindness.

I can barely hear the voices...

calling me back.

I bite my lip-

Do I want to go?

I think of you,

and smile softly.

Maybe tomorrow you'll realize.

I'm willing to take that chance.

I blink-

once,

twice,

and then all the voices

come rushing back.

I'm no longer in darkness-

I stayed-

only by one tiny chance.

Because of you.

Please...

realize soon my feelings towards you.

The voices...

they're so loud-

annoying-

constantly nagging.

And the light...

it's so bright.

I don't belong-

not here.

How long will it take?-

for you to realize...

Maybe if I get the answer

I'm looking for-

I'll feel like I belong...

apart of your world

just this once.

But I'll hide for now-

think this all over-

gather the little courage I have.

The darkness...

it's calling me back...

I must hurry-

there's not much time left.

I have to tell you-

somehow get it through...

this jealousy-

this possessiveness-

it's not me.

I want it to go away.

It eats me alive-

it's so hard to control myself...

The voices-

they're getting quieter.

Something's wrong...

I don't want to go back-

not yet.

Save me...

catch me before I fall.

End this war of

dark and light.

Give me some hope-

in the hallway,

look me in the eye...

walk past me one more time...

Let me remember why I stayed.
