He cut the rope
He saw my hanging from
He took the bottle
Out of my fragile hands
He smashed the last stick
That was burning my future
He hugged me
Like I came back from the dead
He showers me in confidence
Because I started out empty
He talked to me
To bring me to the light
Because I had been running in the dark
He loves me
I can breath finally

When I wrote this I was doing very bad things to myself and a guy came along that cared about me and helped me stop all those self belittlement acts I kept inflicting upon myself
