I want to be
The burn hole on your hoody.
A flickering memory
Of glowing embers;
Of you holding me.

Don't chase happiness
It's a fleeting feeling.
This is what they say
To keep me from weightless reeling.

I'm bobbing in the ocean
Barely grasping the crest.
Searching for joyous commotion
To lift fears of losing from my chest.

Riches can be lost, homes can crumble down.
Sunshine, my anthem of success,
I wish to drape me like evening gown.

Don't you see
I can't be hurt?
Light your torch;
I can't be burnt.

Don't you see
My eyes search yours?
Poison me;
I'll find your cure.

Don't you see
Love only grows?
Like a river,
Imbibes you and flows.

"Everything happens for a reason."
Hardships don't explain themselves in their own season.
I wish I could tell you what they mean,
but I've seen you grow in your troubles you see.
You're brighter, smile bigger, through your pain and sorrow.
Hope will be the strength to carry you through tomorrow.

She shot for the stars
With her safety on.
Pulled strings of his heart,
Didn't mean no harm.
