I've never been more afraid
Afraid of the days I can't lead you
My tender shadow
Afraid of the scathing and lecherous paths
But you have my torch to carry within for the world
When it's darkest as night settles in
Yours to lead with and remember my love
When someday I leave you, my most cherished one
I learned I could be more than I ever knew
More than I allowed myself to be without you
Until I looked in to eyes just like mine
But unmarred, unmarked and unscarred by time
I found where I most belonged when
Your small and gentle hand held mine
Your cries reassuring I deserved a place in this world
That my flaws, my debts, and my guilt were forgiven by you in arms
You are the radiance I am not bright enough to be
You are the greatest gift I could ever receive
You are the radiance I am not bright enough to be
Everything I could never be
I love you with the heart of something
Unable to wither or perish
Beyond the endlessness of death
You are my immortality
You are my tenet, my reason
My purpose is you
