Loneliness crept up on me.
Like a silent killer,
It slit my throat.
Gasping for air,
I chocked on my blood that was pouring out.
Feeling the darkness,
Caress my body,
I shivered.
It was now getting colder,
Harder to hold onto reality.

Let go,
Let go baby girl.
It's okay to lose control.
Join us in the darkness.

Voices try to persuade me to let go,
But my heart screams,
Hold on.
Don't let go.
You're strong.

Even though my mind fights the voices,
My body obeys them.
My hands are drawn to the blades.
My feet walk me to the ledges of cliffs.

Let go.
Its okay not to be strong enough to hold on.
Let go babe,
Let yourself fly...
Let yourself soar...

As my eyes stream with tears,
I cry out to the wind,
Sobbing for help.
Looking for love and comfort.

Don't let me,
Let go.
Don't let me,
Die like this.
Save me,
Please.
