Saved Me From Myself

The pain and heartbreak

After a loss of that level,

It crushed me,

made me feel like I was less,

less than the human being that I was.

So I mourned

And I cried,

For that part of me had died.

But in the end,

It was that time

That led to the saving of myself.

The pain of the loss

Is nothing to compare

To the pain of living

As I’d been living.

For as I was

I was losing

Everything

And everyone

That I cared for.

So in the end,

It was that act

That saved me from myself
