Savior

To attain immortalization...

From a pyre, take a glimpse into my life

Reflect on the massive proportions I’ve collected.

From where?

I must pull it out of some sacred souls

But I haven’t dug a thing up

My slaughter is not of my own design

I’ve built it from chaos and recollection of my past

Laughter from my gait kills the weeds that are planted within

To live in a mystical zone with no inhibition

Reveling in the glory and posing as a fascinating stone

Modeling for hours as people pass lost from their own dizziness and sustainment

They’re not sorry they came they’re just sorry they can’t recognize me

I’ve faded and a crystal encompasses me

A young girl runs to my path and picks up the crystal

A father drills it into a medal cusp and now I’m worn around a soft neck

Eventually I fall off and get lost in the bramble

Beheld in the leaves and crunched upon deeper into the ground

But wait, it storms, and the wind and rain washes me away down a stream

I rapidly race against the sticks and twigs beside me

When the rain subsides I land in a small puddle and toss and turn within

You in your dainty mindset pick me up and feel my past in your hands

You grip me tightly and shove me into your pocket racing home.

Lying on your bed later that night you pull me out and inspect me in the light

You lay me on your night stand and you go to sleep

There I stay, feeling the warmth of your home.

You’ve fostered me and now my expectations are met--

Reasons to be purposeful that I’ve been looking for all my days

So guide me and carry me with you until we both fade away.

And in a fire, smoke, then ashes, that blow away together

Mixing side by side and never being alone again.

We saved each other then.

But did you really need me?

I don’t fret anymore.

No question needs answered when I’m with you

I don’t doubt I just love.

So take me and I no longer resist

That I am free forever by surrendering all to you.

And happiness shall flourish in me till I die because of the strength I’ve found within you.

Carry my weights and burdens and I shall carry you in me till the day.

I never knew a fullness like this and as I stand in your presence, I know I will never feel empty again.

Drain the pain and steal my soul.

Always and forever wrap me around your neck and hook me on

Chained to your life force forever,

Because of that I’ll never be forgotten again.
