Love
It's like a balancing act
One wrong move
and you're falling from your safety

I can confirm
that if you miss
you are balancing
on the edge of a blade

One pull and it's done
Relieving the pain
Slowly but surely

You talk someone from it
and later you find yourself
doing the same exact thing
A hero or hypocrite
You decide

I can confirm
that it's a dangerous game
A game full of pain
Not just for you
but for your family
friends, and loved ones

It stings
and a blade, dose, or bottle
won't cure it
Only care
from a true friend will

Seek out a friend
and their help will save you
You will find them in the most unexpected places
An old rival, a forgotten friend, or a silent acquaintance
Every soul is a precious item
that must be protected by everything
Never to be extinguished
Only dimmed to burn brighter later on
