 I'm tempted to reach out when I'm weak 
                          but i promise it's the comfort I won't seek but rather the enemy's heat.
                           I let the harsh blows hit. 
                          The ones who send hot streaks down the side of my cheek. 
                          He's blinding me as I let the darkness consume my mind. 
                          When I try to fight back I end up on the floor. I can't seem to get up and show him I can fight because in my state of mind what's the point of a fight when he'll just come back the next day with all his might.
                           At this point do I even want my life...
