"Lighthouse"
by @war_torn_poetry
We are two halves of one whole
The mates of each others’ soul
Both believed to be forever lost
Never giving up no matter the cost
We found one another when least expected
With no other have we felt so connected
You are the fire that keeps me warm
No matter how dark of violent the storm
You are my light that guides my way
In my heart you’ll forever stay
