To My Lover

I gave you life. Each day I breathe, so that on the day I leave, you are immortalized. I could not embrace the soil, until I told every soul, that is and will be – the joy of loving you. A woman that never loved me. On the day that I was born, I was given shelter in a heart. I had only one home, left it just so you could smile for a little while. Wise men told me that love may only burn once. My heart is of ashes, my soul does not belong. I will live forever, in your eternal song of love.
