The Ignited Flame

There was a little while
When I thought I’d lost
Any sense of feeling
As if it’d all been tossed

Deep within the pit
Of my own despair
Keeping me from knowing love
Hoping I don’t care

And I grew to think
That I would never feel
The tightening of my heart
Making it all real

I thought my heart was gone
And I was living in a void
Of no love and discontent
Like a child when annoyed

But then one day I saw
Beyond the thick fog wall
A light I hadn’t seen before
Soon brighter than them all

I felt a little tick
A spark that would ignite
A fire that had long been dead
And would keep me up all night

As the gears ticked over
Starting up my brain
Keeping me from sleeping
Driving me insane

Then suddenly I saw
The fog drew away
The light rose way up high
Dawning a new day

I thought to myself
Can it really be?
That this new light
Is the one for me?

Then it was so clear
The dimmed light became the moon
The new light became my sun
Rising up so soon

My heart was in my throat
The knot now in my heart
The new sun had ignited
All the moon tore apart

I felt bad for the moon
To be pushed into the dark
Shining no more light
Not even a small spark

It tore me apart
Knowing I had broken
The bond the moon had made
Without even being spoken

But I had been honest
I stared up at the sun
Knowing what had happened
Knowing what I had done

I knew the truth was out there
Brighter than the stars
The sun was the brighter light
Showing who we are

The sun brought back the dead
It created something new
A love that makes this very world
Revolve all around you
