Death by love

I stand over a dead body of a lifeless man
He has no heart or soul and his eyes are sad within
I struggle with this image that lays before me
Believe he is better off dead than to live this sin
 
The struggles this man must have faced
life executed as the darkness settled in
Changing him so slowly he never had a chance
What could have gone wrong for this to begin
 
eyes widening as my breath is taken away
image blinding me as I fall to my knee
The dead body I am looking at is myself
I panic and struggle of how can this be
 
I have killed myself echoes though my mind
but hear I stand alive and healthy
This is a message to remember for eternity
This was the part of me that enslaved me
 
The souless carcass that once bound me
Fought a good fight but I will remain free
Free from its grasp as I remember this day
The day I broke the chains of my misery
 
Never to fall victim of my own worst enemy
It not the worlds fault I let it change me  
I am grateful for this love that killed me
The love that held me so tight I broke free

This love was Me
unconditionally loving Me
