Frayed and fading

Tangled within heaven's gilded lies,
You sleep choking on the decay of
A thousand perfumed promises
That have no chance of seeing
The daylight of fulfilment

You are a wildfire: something crazed,
Something feral, something dying
Slowly with every poisoned breath,
Yet, still, I am confident
You will make it through alive

You are dissolving as fast as you're forming,
Leaving silt and cells strewn
Haphazardly in your saltwater wake
Still, I know you're able to heal

You are a supernova: igniting the skies,
Setting the constellations aflame with
The final beat of your unruly heart
Though, oh no, the fight is not over
Or lost, not yet

Oh, and I am nothing more than a
Simple maiden wading into the
Murky waters of your destruction
Throwing away my future lives

Yes, I am nothing more than a foolish
Girl attempting to sing hymns that
Will lull your demons to sleep
So that you might survive. For me.

You see, I am trusting I have the
Strength to hold your continents
Together while I am falling apart
We'll pull through, together.

I am hoping I have the faith
To keep your soul from eroding
When I am frayed and fading
Nothing yet is taken for granted,

I am closing my eyes, opening my heart and
I am praying I can save you from yourself
I am praying I can save you
I am praying
For our survival
