To Write On My Heart

Ignite

I was once

Just a shadow on the wall

Cast from your glow.

I don't believe that I will be fixed

Yet here you wither away

While I begin to thrive

But not again

Not anymore

Not true

No longer false.

I will hurt so you can heal

I will cry so you can laugh

I will starve so you can eat

I will steal so you can be pure.

This is my sin.

I am to willing

To let my heart break

Just so yours can grow.

True is my heart

Lost was yours

Forgotten is my soul

So yours could be found

Weak is my hope

Strong is yours

Empty is my heart

Now that yours is full

I fought to keep you strong

I hoped to keep you alive

I lost so you could win

I fell so you could rise

But I can no longer ignite in your heart

What is lost in my own

Take that extra step

For I am falling

Crumbling away

My last wish is for you to live

When I could not

It was my last redeeming quality.
