There is only one way out.
For so long now you have made your home inside the dark recesses of my mind. You feed off of my bitter lonliness, you thrive off of my resentment and tears. I am more alone now than I ever have been, I hate you and the rest of the world with a storming passion, and I am all cried out and yet you are STILL there, playing games with my mind and not letting me forget. Torture! You torture me, oh apparaition of my soul!
And there is only one way out.
You are so sure that you will be able to win. In the past I have tried so hard to rid my mind of you and yet you always triumphed. I drank until I was sick and had you purged out; I got myself high and tried to forget you but you came back the next day; I ranted and raved and lashed you out at others so they too, could feel my pain. And yet you still returned. But now, now I have found the way.
There is one way out.
Damn you, you prescence who haunts my being! You leave me only one choice now, the choice I will have to take. By God, I will BLEED you out. I will kill you and the memories you won't let me let go of even if it means I kill the rest of me with it. You have consumed me to the point where there is not enough of the real me worth saving.
So I will take the only way out.
With knife at my wrist I prepare for my final hour. The last breath I take will have no more meaning though than all the rest. The cut. I don't feel the pain, only you leaking out of my body, bright red and thick. HA! See?!?! I CAN be rid of you! You will not end on top this time! Though hell may await, at least you will not be making the trip with me! If I must go then by God I will go WITHOUT you! OH I'm slipping... Shallow breath after shallow breath... It was the only way... You left me only one way... but how free... at last!\
The final hour...
A flight on black wings...
Release!
