when we were on fire

by Rachel Lynch


"Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do well. And whatever I have tried to destroy, I have destroyed with everything in me." 

  Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do well. And whatever I have tried to destroy, I have destroyed with everything in me. 

He said, "it's getting harder to hold you." Burning out and sleeping on the floor. Cold to the bone, so alone I can taste it. 

And I know that we're losing light, our love is dying. We backed down like two falling stars in the night sky. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind. But life got in the way. 

Take me back to when we were on fire. When we knew that love meant we're gonna love when there's nothing in it for us. Take me back to messy sheets under the sphere of a violet night sky. 

And we can do that again, but we can't keep our ashes. You can't put a foundation on resentment.

Let's light it up, like when we were on fire.
