&ldquo;Each and every one of us has a fire that burns inside us. They can try like hell to put it out, but as long as we know in our minds who we are meant to be, they will never stand a chance.&rdquo; <br /> ― Andy Biersack

You looked into my eyes
Seen the tears unseen
We both know the same pain
For we've grown up in the same game
Abuse is all you've known
All I've known
You know my secret no other knows
I know yours
My binding coming off
Into your hands
You look down on me
Call me your fallen angel
Scars so deep, pink, some fresh
Yet so old
That time has come and gone
you kiss me lightly
Gently
Careful not to hurt me
Press your lips against my scars
And I'll do yours
You're saving me now
I can tell by the way that you look
There are no words to be said
We understand each other
To tell the rest of our story
Without Words

I want to say thank you to my boyfriend, Alexx. You have saved me from myself, making me realize that there is more to life than sex and parties. I feel like I am a real person again, thanks to you <3
