Shannon Washington

I am neither here nor there.

I use to run from my nightmares.

But now I'm done even if I cry.

I'll always know that things will be alright.

I'll give my last breath to save you.

But I'm burning too hot.. I can't stop.

I am light. My soul is light. But my body is human.

How long will I last before I burn away?

But it'll be okay. I'm meant for important things

Things that I can't say ...

And even though I'm crying now

Because I can't have you now.

I'll be okay.

Giving up my normal life

For things I'd rather not say.

I am light.

I burn hotter than the sun.

And maybe I'll be erased when this is done.

But I promise it is worth it.

To die for someone I love.

I have the heart of gold.

And I always will be...

Just a faint memory.
