I was lost
Until I was found by someone and I had put myself out in the open
I invited him into my dark cave
For the first time I dusted off the cobwebs with my own hands
And lit the fire to expose all of my secrets
I entrusted in him all the dirt
And my most precious
He saw it all

I became comfortable
I became reckless with myself
And finally, I gave away the last bit of me
He made me feel so safe
I never thought twice about it
Me, mine, myself and my own
Body, mind, heart and soul
He became more important than my own life

I kept stoking the fire
Until it became too much
It was for light
Then for warmth
My salvation
Now my damnation
Too busy collecting wood
I did not see I had created my own hell

I trapped myself
Sharp jagged rocks digging into my back
A raging fire before me
And as the smoke filled my lungs
I wished for my dark place again
I regret revealing myself
I regret letting him in
I regret everything I ever did

It is my mistake
It is my fault
I know that now
I am the one who had given myself away
That axe that severed my soul from my body
I sharpened it's blade
I wielded it
And I dropped it with devastating accuracy

For a very brief moment I forgot everything
But when I finally came to
All the memories crushed me
It got me crazy
I remember
I hurt
I wept
Then I accepted my fate
