I pray for you,
even though I know
there is no god to listen,
and I have eight years without
answers to show for it, but still.
You branded your name on my heart
so that I have no choice but
to keep you close and try
to protect the parts of you
that you've never taken care of yourself.
One day, you'll know how much I love you,
and I only hope that I'll be there to see it.
