i would burn myself down to light someone's path for when they cannot find their way home, strip my own bones for making fire if it meant warmth for somebody i've imagined climbing into heaven itself, finding God exhausted somewhere and asking; "what do you need?" because I know what it means to give until you're empty, to answer every cry like it's the only sound im meant to hear ever since ive stepped foot here on earth and when I look around for someone to catch me, i found only my own voice, echoing and asking if anyone else was tired it's not that I think I'm holy. it's that i've practiced resurrection so many times on people who could never be able to bring me back to life if ever, i started to wonder if i could do it for the one who supposedly does it for everyone else no one has offered to bleed the way I have i think about saving God, because at least then someone would understand what it costs to love and live and save like this
