[hometext] => How I was saved from myself by a man with a mirror...
[bodytext] => Went for a walk off a cliff one day, So convinced death was the only way. Somehow, I knew I just couldn’t die, I had to stay, but didn’t know why. I tried and I tried, all canceled out I offered echoes to a canyon of doubt. Took scissors to flesh to prove I could, Regressed, but you knew I would. Sobs from the child, returned broken It’s been years since she’s spoken. Feeling too much, scars ripped anew Bleeding but alive when I found you. You let me cry, said it was okay Soon enough you wiped them away. I knew the answers, had all along Threw them down, mistaken for wrong. Ready to jump to end this living, You said I had something worth giving. Something born with, I had still Inalienable, even by reason or will. Reached inside myself, thought devoid Pulled out a heart that wasn’t destroyed. The mistakes and pain my life had been Had not tarnished the beauty within.
