As I am Crushed
Even as the sky is falling
Even though the end is near
I’ll hold up the sky
And make things clear
I want you to see
Beauty before death
I’ll hold up the sky for as long as it takes
Until my very last breath
If you were across the world
From me, my love
Then I would walk those thousands of miles
Just to hold your sky up
I can place it on my shoulders
I can bare the weight of the world
As long as you’re next to me
You’re worth more than diamonds and pearls
As I will be crushed
I would be completely broke
If you were to go before me
If you could never hear the words I haven’t spoke
They’ve been stuck in my throat
I’m easily tongue tied
I’m in it for the long haul
I’ll even put in overtime
Just to make you smile
Just to keep you safe for a few seconds more
Though I’m sweaty, and smelly
Bruised, and sore
I 'll place one last kiss
Upon your sweet lips
And whisper goodbye as though it meant forever
Though that’s not it
If I could have the sky crush only me
You safe, happy in a sanctuary
I would do everything in my power to bring you to that place
Though it would seem a long time to you
It’d only be moments for me
Because every thought of you
Every memory
Is the sweetest melody
The realistic dream
Because I’ve always wanted you
And you’ve always wanted me
So off we go together
As tiredness sets upon my brow
It’s not goodbye forever
It’s just goodbye for now
And as the sky falls down
And breaks through homes, bones, and ground
Our hands are still bound
And our promises sealed
Our lips shall never part
You are oxygen
You are my heart
