two blades of steel
two lives in the hands
too much pain we feel
too much to understand
the words
that could drop the knives
the words
that could sink them in
the words
that could save two lives
the words
that could make them end.

somehow, we step back.
somehow, we make it through.
somehow, we both knew-
today would come for us.
we're alive- and, well,
we gotta believe
that this wont always be hell.

we must believe
that you and me
we'll beat our demons-
together.
