My Soul Will Sleep

A lantern shone itself though the darkness

Lighting a path for the lost wanderers

But not all was truly as it seemed

For there was a deeper darkness nearby

It crept closer and closer

Breaking the barriers in between

Shattering the light into pieces

Destroying what was left

Of a broken soul; dying hope..

Though, on a brand new day

She made her way to me,

As I saw her fractured smile

She said “my heart has broken; it is no more.

I can no longer live. I can no longer breathe.”

And I answered her prayers…

“Here, take my heart…

As long as you live; as long as you breathe…

My soul will sleep, sleep so peacefully."
