Be proud, be terrified, be awed
That you lead two lives,
That you are subtly but undeniably immortalized
Every time I can't keep the thought of you
Out of my head, away from my art, off of my skin,
Can't keep you from being the undertone of every word I ever speak, the push behind every step I take, the weight that pulls my eyelids closed at night.
Be amazed that you will live in every person who ever remembers me,
And by god,
I know you know I'm hard to forget.
Be astonished that when I promised you the world, I truly intended to give it to you,
One person, one street, one sunrise at a time.
I'm yours. And I am vast.
And I will pour myself into every crack and ***** in the armor of this universe,
And you will have it, all.
You will have it whether you love me or not.
