Rest

by Kakera   May 17, 2014


I'll never let you leave alone,
I'll stay here, so rest your head
and let me fold your wings,
the ones you used to shield the world,
into the tomb where my saviour sleeps:
into a cradle where love can be reborn,

I'll never forget
how you laughed,
how you cried,
how you smiled,
always, always, always
staying by my side

and now it's my turn
so rest peacefully in my embrace,
you've sacrificed enough now;
I will remain here, smiling;
crying; laughing, and waiting
until your radiant eyes open again

Because no matter where you're going
I'll stay here, always, always, always,
until your wings can spread again
and we can soar through the heavens,
seeing the world that you saved,
so rest here peacefully until then
