why do you protect me not reject me ?
Why do you hold me not scold me?
Why do you help me sleep not weep?
Why do you care when I dare to hurt you
For as the blade glistened you stopped and listened to the voices in side my head
As I fought you sought to calm me not harm me and put the voices to bed
And when at last you shed a tear it was not through fear
But the thought you deceived me when the time came to leave me
But I felt you standing near
I felt your arms around me
Your breath upon my face
You did not leave me, you helped me to a better place
