I take a step back

catch my breath.

Hand on my chest,

feeling the heart beat.

Glad I still possess.

Is a lost love able

to take a part of me?

That familiar pain,

the consuming shade,

when love leaves, eternity.

Are you so tired

there's no worth to life?

Forgetting every percent ,

every inch of mountain,

you struggled to climb?

Believe you are prized

beyond measure of mind.

Look at me I am here,

still willing away fear.

Take this piece,

keep it close.

Choose this forever

your beauty shows.
