He lives here now
In the deep, dark crevices of my mind,
The place impossible to find
My way through
The monster has consumed every piece of me
As I struggle to break free
I can’t see
The mirror looking back at me
The key
I am lost
Somewhere deep down in my depressive soul
As I attempt to climb back into my mind
So that I can survive
But he’s there
Watching, waiting to pull me into the darkness with him
Then my heart chimes in
Ready for sin
I struggle beneath the slight grasp of my reality
It’s fleeting
Being held by my pinky
I’m sinking
And he sits there, smiling
Because he’s unaware of the games, he’s been playing in my mind always
I walked in a daze
But I’m not crazy
I’m just a woman who let a man in

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
