• If I had instead loved a razor blade,
    Never would my heart have disobeyed,
    The damage done swiftly, the pain slow,
    Letting go of all that I once had to know,
    The wants of love's way, the folly of man,
    I would have stopped far sooner than I began,
    Blood would be my eternal friend,
    Sweeping me closer to the inevitable end,
    With the same tears soaking my face,
    I would have laughed past my own disgrace,
    Mirrors would no longer hold me with their power,
    Clarity would wash over me in that crimson hour,
    But never to be so, as even heaven and I know,
    I could never that easily let my love for YOU go
