There's a light in my soul that won't go out
And it burns, and it bleeds, as I try to snuff it out
Frosty hair on sheets crusted over with desire
My mind, and my soul, and my heart are on fire
It's not a flame of happiness and not a flame of joy
It's a hell hot pit that I wish I could destroy
I fight, and I scrape, and I try to get away
Silver tongue telling me "No bitch, not today"
You were supposed to be my savior, this was supposed to be the end
But you thrive in my pain and you take away my friends
Feed me drugs and tell me it's okay;
"No one else will love you anyway"

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!"

The emotions are so raw. So well written!
I can feel the pain coming through on this one, haunting and excellent work as usual.
