Truth and lies.

He was lying on the hospital bed, his heart had given up on him. But honestly, it didn't bother him much. This stint in the hospital meant he could get closer to the love of his life, Sonia.

He was aghast when his best friend, Ram, disapproved of Sonia. 'Something about her eyes bother me a lot, I can't place my finger on what', he had said. He had nobody else in his life except Ram. He had no idea why Ram had said that Sonia was after his money.

She had come into his life after he had gotten extremely rich, but that was merely a coincidence. Sonia, uncannily, knew every little detail about him and his past. 'That's just how much I love you, darling', she had said.

He was going to tell Ram how he was so wrong about Sonia. This week long stay in the hospital would make sure Ram saw how much Sonia loved him.

He wanted to tell Sonia about Ram's displeasure. He did. He was scared how she would take it.

Sonia said 'that's sad'. He expected to see tear in her eyes when she turned to him. Instead, he saw a wicked gleam that reflected in the knife she held up.

That was the last thing he ever saw...

The voices.

You told me about the voices in your head,
I ponder about those.
I also wonder aloud,
why each other we chose.

The voices push you deeper into the dark,
While I try to show you how beautiful the day is!
When they try to tell you how you mean nothing to anyone,
I try to show you how untrue what they say is.

While you are pushed farther into the abyss,
look up and recognize the light of the stars.
Hold on to my hand, my love,
I wait eternally for you, to give you my life and to wash away your scars...
