Musical Notes

Tug-O-War

I wanted to leave.
I wanted to, I wanted to...

I didn't have time to buy a razor.
The kitchen knife glinting on the counter...

It'll do.

Clutched in my trembling hand,
lost in the tangled sheets,
a shimmer of red in my mind's eye...

It's the future.
Kiss and tell, loose lips sink ships...
I left my conscience pressed...

I wanted to leave, I wanted to...

Then, the man on the wall. His eyes.
Angry, sad, indecipherable.

I am not afraid to keep on living...

Tears sting.
He wasn't.
He wasn't.

He wouldn't have wanted you to.

Silver stone meshes with white silk.

You collapsed... weary, broken, but unbleeding and alive.

Hello, hero.

Thank you for saving me again.
