You breathed life into me

He saved my soul.

I watched my life fade to black all reason and drive drifted away,

More times than not I chose the blade rather than deal with the mental pain,

My body was constantly attacked by the demons inside,

They held the strings that controlled every aspect of my mind,

There were no more sunny days and happy memories,

My demons stole all that away from me, 

The light at the end of the tunnel shrank and I lost hope,

My life would never be any better; my blade became my only way to cope,

Part of me wished to die to avoid the pain of another day,

Another part of me wished I knew a way to make everyone pay,

But what good would that do when the damage was already done,

It was a sick cycle, the demons enjoyed it was their type of fun,

Then one day they were gone, I no longer felt the agony,

 I realized they couldn’t hurt me when you stand beside me,

Their power was gone and you made me feel free,

Then when you left they attacked, I realized I needed more than your presence,

I needed your love and when you gave it so freely you taught me a valuable lesson,

The demons were still there just waiting for you to leave,

I was so happy but still part of me was afraid of you leaving me,

Then you kissed me and the demons exploded and my blade shattered,

The cuts on my skin and mind healed it was like the past didn’t even matter,

The scars serve as a reminder of the battle I fought,

Our love is my trophy and a reminder I won.
