The Way It Should Be

This is goodness, this is selflessness

Open chested

Your eyes in mine

When one turns cold

The others make a fire

You try to run away

You can't escape the warmth

This is family

This is pure

And my death comes before a single hair on your head is harmed

I love you

This is what you do for the ones you love

To the gates, or to your knees

My beating heart is just a canvas for your name

Write it down

Return it to the sky

Falls like ashes
