I Never Thought

   Funny how people make you feel. How they change the way you think. I never would have thought you'd be the weight to make me sink. You dragged me down into the black, we were destined for abyss. And all the while I never thought there was anything amiss. Everything I gave, you took, always wanting more. You drained away all my love, straight to my body's core. I watched you rip my insides out, but I didn't really care. I'd let you do whatever you wanted just as long as you'd still be there. Until the day you left me I never thought I'd cry so many tears. Every time I tried to smile it was nothing but a sneer. Now my body is completely empty, now my heart's so cold and black. I never thought I'd wish for death. Oh how I wanted to turn back.
   One day as I was watching you with my eyes devoid of soul, I saw you standing with her. I knew you had to pay the toll. I grabbed her by her hair as I stabbed you in your neck. I screamed into your dying face, "Maybe now you won't forget!" I never thought I could ever help the one who took my place. But I had to ease the troubled look she had upon her face. "Now listen to what I say and heed my words of advice. He took away your soul from you, and he stole away your life." She cried, "Don't send me to my grave! I know you can be saved!" I stared into her sad dull eyes as I took away her pain. As I watched her life dry up and begin to go dim, I whispered into her sweet hair, "I've finally saved you from him."
