Elotor Is Life

I came back for you
I’m doing this to help save you

because I will stand by your side
snarl ready, heart pounding to the tune of your name

because the courage that rests inside my bones
it comes from that blinding grin 

and the hope that anchors my soul
it comes from that gentle touch

and the houses that built us are burning down
and the stars that guided us keep getting blotted out

but as long as you whisper my name
I’ll know exactly how to return home
