I Know Who Killed Me

I remember it well
The empty street
The stillness of the night
And the piercing screams
A girl was murdered
Stabbed to death
But I didn't do it
Why don't you believe me?
I wasn't even there
I kept my distance
As I watched myself do it
But it wasn't me
The knife was mine
There was blood on my hands
But I know I'm innocent
Just believe me
Before I knew it
The sky had lightened
And the street was red
When you arrived
You blamed me
Why didn't you listen to me?
I was so scared
You had tears in your eyes
Why were you crying?
I wanted to hold you
But I was so very scared
And then they carried me away
Why didn't you stop them?
They covered me with a sheet
I couldn't see you anymore
But the last thing I saw
Was the shimmering sun
I remember it so well
All was golden in the sky
The day I died

Stronger

He came into my life
Like a thundering storm
And he swept me off my feet
Took my life
And tore it apart
Ever so lovingly
He grabbed my wrists
And whispered run
I ran harder than ever before
Like some desperate howling demon
He reached for me
And I collapsed
He handed me a blade
And told me not to cry
He carved my skin
With exceptional care
And told me I looked beautiful
He soaked me in blood
And hung me out to dry
He took his charm
And whipped me with it
With every scar
I became more human
When I could finally speak
I told him I loved him
And with a dazzling smile
He walked away
