Your Heart

I lived on piercing air, with each breath

forcing itself into my lungs

 I was a slave to life, being held captive

 in my own mind until I met you.

You released me from this mortal mesh,

you taught me how to swim in this sea of sadness.

 For this, I can promise you one thing,

despite how many times I’ve lost my sanity

and lost my ways

I promise

I will never lose

your heart.
