Synopsis: I'd stick with you till the very end, until you reach your highest version.

-

Thousands had tried to wilt you;

Millions tried to set you ablaze;

Yet, you survived for an eternity.

You suffered great injustice.

Your battle scars were too many to count—

You had enough.

To be cherished and to be loved was what you deserved.

And I'd give them to you,

Without a single mark of doubt.

I'd help you bloom into your wildest dream.

I'd have you glow with your brightest spark.

And I'd pull you to your highest peak.

The sky gave me an option to leave.

But I wouldn't leave until my very last breath.

I'd stay until I was asleep in my own grave.
