Dweller Of Our Heart

“The essence in us is the same as the essence of the sun” You’re somewhere in my chest, a fancy place to hide like that heat creeping in when I’m half asleep, kinda shy We all got that fire the same one the sun’s rocking sometimes flickering, sometimes straight up shocking No not a clean flame, more like stubborn smoke hangin’ in the ashes, refusing to choke In all my cracked-up moments, you pop up like a start raw, real, unpolished, right in my heart No smooth lines, no perfect art just you, me, and sun, tangled from the start

Love how real and raw this feels—like that stubborn fire inside that just won’t quit. Super relatable and honest. Great job!
