some people never leave.
they're always inside you,
crushing your glass bones,
and setting fire to your paper heart

you cannot burn down history
it's not made of wood,
but hearts, skin,
and that empty feeling in your chest

music plays,
crowds cheer,

guns fire,
people scream.

couples dine,
everyone relaxes,

buildings are burning,
smoke fills the air.

the once bright tower,
is now dark as night,
as innocents are murdered;
is this right?

all we can do now is,
give our condolences,
aid the injured,
and pray for the living.

♡

*Yours is the love
that does live in my heart
It is the glue
when my world falls apart

Provides the sun
as the clouds come to call
Lifts me right up
if I stumble and fall

Lightens my load
when it's too much to bear
When I am lonely
it tells me you're there

If I am crying
it dries all my tears
When I am frightened
it chases my fears

Gives me the strength
when I'm fragile and weak
Shows me the way
if the path I do seek

Brings out my smile
every time I am blue
I hope my love
does the same thing for you

Set my silence free
I need you here with me
