I love you…

I heard a voice from deep within 
the belly of the mountains say,
“I love you”,
A woman’s voice, over and over again.

Pristine truth piercing through,
long nights and dark days
Lightning birthing through the eye,
of the storm of a mind ablaze

An old reprieve, seeping through,
cracks in the walls of a hunted heart
Clouds of haze torn asunder,
by a single thought in stark contrast,
The burning of a mind aflame
put to pause,
By that voice …

I love you, I heard her say
Echoing through the stone walls
Bellowing through the ghosted halls
Of my haunted heart.

I love you, growing louder now,
From whisper to resounding wail

I love you
From cradle to grave
I love you! Hey!
It’s okay.

I can’t promise I know the end
In a broken world I’ll be your friend
As you walk through the fire,
I’ll hold your hand

Through every end we cannot mend
Past blind curves and dead ends
that teach us how far we can bend
I promise, I’m here to stay

I love you till the very end
