In My Chest, You Exist

In the darkness,
bleached to white…
Bright as sunlight,
dispelling night…

Near as daydreams,
close at hand…
Here forever,
heart’s demand…

In my chest, you exist…

Life without you,
cold and bleak…
Me without you,
alone and weak…

A day without you
does not exist…
A thought, a prayer,
the endless list…

In my chest, you exist…

The future holds
uncertain things…
The mire of life
and death it brings…

Yet we are built
on Truth and Love…
The Heart, the Mind,
and Emotion thereof…

In my chest, you exist…

Forever.
