Here I stand

empty hand

wishing my

wrist were bleeding

to stop the pain from the beating

Caitlyn stood in the middle of her room with a knife propped in her hand. One swipe and the beatings will stop. She thought and took a deep breath. Do it Caitlyn. She willed herself when someone opened the door. She looked up and saw no one.

There you stood
Holding me
Waiting for me to notice you

She felt someone's hand slip around her. "Don't do it Caitlyn." someone whispered. She sat on the bed and they held her.

But who are you
You are the truth

I'm screaming these lies

"Leave me alone please." She cried and he didn't let go. "I'm fine Nate please leave." She whimpered as she felt darkness slip over her.

You are the truth

Saving my life

"Caitlyn you don't have to do this."

"I have to it's the only was to stop it Nate."

The warmth of your embrace
Melts my frostbitten spirit
You speak the truth and I hear it

"No Caitlyn you are not slipping away from me ok?" Nate said as he rocked her. "Do you hear me?" His voice rising with anger. "Yes she whimpered

The words are I love you
And I have to believe in you

"I love you Caitlyn. Do you believe me?" "Yes" she answered. He rubbed her arms feeling the heat coming from her fresh bruises.

But who are you
You are the truth

I'm screaming these liesYou are the truth

Saving my life

"Caitlyn you are worth more than this. You are better than it. This isn't the answer." He gently took the knife out of her hands. "Nate this the way it has to go. I am a mistake."

My hands are open
And you are filling them
Hands in the air
In the air, in the air, in the air
And I worship
And I worship
And I worship
And I worship you

Nate stood up and pulled something out of his pocket. It was a gold cross on a chain. "Really Caitlyn is this the answer dying? Because I don't think it is." He slipped the chain on her neck. He hugged her.

You are the truth

I'm screaming these lies
You are the truth
Saving my life

Caitlyn beat against Nate's Chest screaming ferociously. "Why won't you let me die? I hate you I hate you" Her voice turned into a whimper as she started crying. "Why won't you let me die? I hate you." She fell to her knees. "I need to die." He sank next to her.
