Saved

You know when the bad ones cut you

You never bleed

The poison goes too deep

You get to thinking it’s you

When common sense
tells you the mad person

Leaning off the roof is to blame

The person who is so forgiving

But never sorry,

Locking doors against

Imaginary threats

Invented as an excuse

To hurt people.

Me, I just got out with my life

Because you were there

Stretching out your arms

When dark shadows

And false claims tried

To consume me.

Your life line

Brought me back

From that edge of that insanity

And keeps me from falling back

Leaving that demon

To suck somebody else’s blood

To cut deep into somebody else’s chest,

Leaving no trail of blood

Only poison.
