One Step

One step closer
This whole mess I made would be over
These words I say hurt
not just me
but everyone
no one sees me
so I make myself seen
not for me....

For the devil who sits on my shoulder 
ignoring the angel
who is crying for me
BEGGING 
for me to speak
my lip quivering
I stare down at the open road 
down below
wishing someone would rescue me
"HELP HELP"
silence 
do it! DO IT if no one cares they won't if your DEAD

the voice now taking over my thoughts
repeating itself
I manage to let one tear escape my grasp
one step..
as I walk forward that one foot
im yanked back 
by something warm?

    They mean so so much
