Screaming off the Cliff

For Renee

"You know I love you, right?'

'Please, don't hurt yourself again."

You cut yourself last night...

but this is now, and that was then.

"Yeah, I love you too,"

you said to me, and put a little heart. <3

"You and me - we will pull through."

But this is just the start.

Years and years are ahead of us both.

Years to live, years to go!

Hold my hand and swear this oath;

We'll live to watch the falling snow.

You think it won't work, this plan of ours.

You're not so strong - might not hold out.

You think there will come the dreaded hour...

where you will fall. And I will shout.

"You know I love you, right?'

"You hurt yourself again!"

The devil crawls within the night.

But, you're my only friend.

So, please don't leave me out here to die.

In this dust and smoggy air.

Come with me, and we can lie

on a bed of peace, we'll stay there.

We can do this together,

make our heavy beds.

You and me, forever.

When the demons are our of our heads.

Because secretly you know I need you.

Need your wisdom and your love.

I need your strength and how to do,

what I can to rise above.

For my bestfriend, who helps me through everything, even though she doesn't know it. I understand your pain, now.
