The Dying Light

I am the dying light in the sky, That makes you wonder if you are real, Or if i am all that is left of your existence. And you my darling, are the same to me, But in this lonely darkness, I glow and wonder if I exist, Or if you are all that keeps my light burning. I breathe happieness from your laughter, My light comes from the radience of your skin, I steal my fire from your lips, And when I feel myself burning out, I gaze down upon your joy, And it reignites my essence. You long to touch me, to hold me, And wonder if I can make you feel alive, If I can fill you with heaven. You do not know that when your fingers, Sweep across my skyline, You are filling me instead. You never believed I could love you, With all the fierceness of dragons now dead, You never believed that anyone could love you as I have, As I have and always will. I fill your being as you so too fill mine, And this lonely existence does not seem so sad. I thrive off of your energy and strength, My happiness grows from your smile, My fire burns brighter for you, And you do not know that you feed my soul. I will love you till the last star has died, And the sun is nothing but burning embers, Ready to be a whisp of smoke, And I am all thats left in the universe, To fill you with wonder. I will love you when your old bones, Wither and turn to dust, And ash is all thats left of the mountains, And cracked clay all thats left of the rivers, And a Graveyard lies where there was once an ocean. I will love you beyond that, And lie in the cosmic circles, Dreaming of your warm skin, And how it filled me for eons. I will love you so much that- I will search the universe for your atoms, So I can piece you back together again, And we can create the art of making love. You never believed that someone could love you like that, But you are the light in the world, That makes me know that I exist, That I am not just dying embers, Without you in my arms, I might never have known I could breathe.
