Remission Prologue

Live

for tomorrow

for each word

for each other

Pray

for you

for me

for the world today

Remember

you're unique

you're special

you're real

So

treat your body well

treat yourself with respect

keep yourself clean

Don't turn

to the needle

to the bottle

to the knife

I thought that

she was clean

she was happy

she was cured

But memory

says otherwise

dictates my life

ended hers

It didn't matter

what she said

what she thought

but what she did

She thought she

kicked the stuff

ended the pain

but it returned

You only get to live once

so live it

love it

but don't end it

We sat close

together

in the park

everyday

And every time, something happened

for me to fall in love

with her

in a new way

She was

young and beautiful

just starting her life

but the joy didn't seem real

She still had scars

not from this life

but from an old one

which seemed far away

It pained me

every time I saw them

every time I thought them

every time I felt them

So I tried to help her

with her life

change her ways

heal her pain

But in the end

she left me

with the scars

and with the pain

And after that

I found a new way

to die from the pain

each day

I found acceptance

in the needle

in the bottle

in the knife

And

each day

I found a new way

to end my life
