Salt dries, a hard streak,
you say it isn't my fault,
but seeing you like this,
I can’t believe you.

We all walk,
slowly and steadily,
toward death.

But regardless,
we keep living,
even if it is just surviving.

Lightning, fierce, and bright and hot,
he strikes the ground, hard as a rock.
Faster than a Phoenix rising,
he leaps from the ground, hooves flying.

He fears no man nor other beast,
and shall never balk, to say the least.
Eyes of fire and heart of gold,
he is terrible, beautiful, and ever so bold.

He is gorgeous, eyes like pools of stardust.
He is pretty, in a way that defies human nature.
He is kind, in a way that so few ever are.
He is, he is, he is.

You told me I couldn't,
so I did.

I promised you forever,
and forever it will be.
Because even through the worst nights,
you were there for me.

Even though there are millions of miles,
pulling us apart.
I promised you forever,
and you still have my heart.

The is so much pain,
in this world of ours.
So many broken things,
broken dreams,
broken homes,
broken hearts,
broken people.
