The heart that burns

My world could use feeling lighter,
With the sound of your voice, 
Over the crashing of the waves, 
The quiet places, 
where I thought I had everything I needed, 
The grand exaggerated gestures, 
And dreams even bigger, 
Your soft heart is the most beautiful part of you,
You always told me wiping the tears from my eyes, 
When I thought the world had gone mad,
Gone too cold,
Now, I lit that heart to keep the warmth,
It burns,
A dull flame,
Sometimes, the only light that I see,
Don't go cold, I tell it,

You are the reason to,
Endure,
Feel, 
Touch,
Love,
Awaken,
Even when everything you held precious is gone.
