You once held the sun
In the glimmer of your smile...
Then, you lost it in the darkness
of winter nights...
After your loss
You were given the moon...
A beam that shone bright...
The moon was your revival.
You were given the mother,
But you lost her...
In turn, you got her daughter...
But she died...
She was your salvation
She had the ability to save you...
She could heal you
But you scared her away...
You lost your soul
You lost your light...
You lost what you held dear,
Only because it was taken away by fear
You became your own salvation...
You became your own beam of sunlight
You became your own moonlight...
No one could take that way
because you became light itself.
