“Lit”

Walk
with me
up the
red staircase
Support
me
This future
me
before
I stumble
and dive
off

You lit
me up
inside
You lit
my heart
and body
on fire
It burns
inside me
now
every day

Walk
this plank
with me
Up the
staircase
over
the sea
of white
capped waves
sea foam
green
We stand
in the
crows nest
looking down
this observance
of we

Hold my
hand as
we go
Steady me
please
I need
you to
hang on
in case
I veer
off this
steep path
on the
way down

You lit
me up
inside
You lit
my heart
body and
mind
A fire
has started
that you
can’t
put out
as
we become
an inferno
together
in our
quiet lives
