A Whole Melancholy of Lovers

soul

you don't believe in god

not like i do, 

i pray to him each night that you and i

are guided onto the paths we need.

i pray he watches over you

that he blesses your sleep,

and tirelessly keeps you safe so i can have another day

with you, my stone that keeps me steady

my lover and best friend alike.

i hope you and i are forever

i have given you every secret i hold

i have given myself to you

so please try to stay with me.

days can be long, hard, rough,

but don't you dare give up.
