Prelude To Beauty

Had you not inspired such a flame deep and bellowing in the cavity of my chest where my heart used to be i'd be not but a shell A beautiful, soulless corpse condemned to walk this earth for an eternity ready to deafen and destroy with eternal noise that signifies nothing i can only add my desire of forever being yours make me as happy as i can be. Only then can I be saved from damnation and my soul set free. Looking at you there from above the clouds, my under oxygenated hands turn pale blue, never has anything in all of history looked more beautiful than you do in this moment. for your smile is so breathtaking You would wonder why anyone ever lived in the first place Inert with heavy slumber, i wondered if i was ever awake at all. was it a dream i loved?
