Have you ever loved someone so much
you feel your heart more?
Not an expression, no literally they make
your heart sore.
When you know they're your heart
and you are their armor.
But what happens when karma
turns right around and bites you.
So the one you most adore then turns on
you to spite you.
"Spoke as if my armor now it seems as if
you forgot what it is inside you."
Your smile was the thought, the only one
I'd sleep tight too.
Many moons have since passed yet I still
struggle to sleep a whole night through.
I keep on having this dream.
Why do I keep dreaming this dream?
Where there's a sun gleamin', birds singin'
It's spring and, to my side lays a queen and,
I smile as I go to kiss her, tell her I miss her
She goes "baby I'm so warm your eyes
might be stars is what I'm thinkin'.
Next thing I know it's just me standing in
the mirror.
These ******* walls must be talking cause
**** I can hear em.
They're saying don't you dare take for
granted what you've lived through.
You got one more chance so **** it you
fight.
For all that pain endured better not be
for nothing!
Now go out there before it's too late and
show even pain can be good for something!
I walk out to 20,000 people cheering out
their seats.
Throwing roses at my feet, it's oh so loud!
When I open my mouth a hush falls over
the crowd.
Like wow, this is what being an artist is all
about.
"Remember when you spoke as if you were
my armor?
What beauty, for what has become of you
the perfect martyr."
"Here comes a poem of my heart, before
I depart. Let my words be your armor."
Just know that,
When I'm gone just carry on, don't mourn,
rejoice every time you read my words feel
my voice.
And just know that,
I'm not underground, you'll see when the
suns around, me looking down... Smilin'.
So just feel my voice whenever you're
feeling pain, and know that I feel the same.
*And smile back
