Kiss Away The Pain

She kissed the scars upon my arm  
And whispered to me gently  
Please stop, don't do any more harm  
All I could do was stare silently  
 
So many thoughts rushed through my mind  
Why does she care? why does it matter?  
Will she be there the next time I shatter?  
Her sweet gentle voice pulls me from my reverie  
 
I pray silently this won't become just another memory  
I look slowly into her loving eyes  
And begin to wonder, can she see the deepest darkest part of me?  
The small piece of my soul that screams for death
 
The piece of me that dies slowly with every breath  
Does she see that I'm hanging on by a single thread?  
Wishing I could just fade away  
She touches my cheek gently and pulls me close  
 
Don't worry my love, she whispers lovingly  
No matter what happens, I will never leave you  
I will always be here to kiss away your pain  
And whisper that I love you  
 
Tears fall from my eyes  
That feeling of needing to disappear, dissipates  
Could it be that she is the one who will save me?  
And keep me safe, while the darkness within slowly disintegrates
