I’ll Take Care Of You

Deep into the chaotic breath of fire the world breathes; I would trade my skin for yours and burn each day so that you may live;

Deep into the chaotic breath of fire the world breathes, 
I would trade my skin for yours and burn each day so that you may live.
For I wrote in the past, that I will take care of you.

And even when the ashes of my surface begin to whither unhurriedly, 
I would crawl to the end of the world so that you may be whole. 
for you are my present, and I will take care of you.

And in the end, when I am finally excessively fragile, singing my swan song, and ready to depart  
Lay with me under the midnight skies, place my hand on your chest, and smile,
for I will write a song off of the sound of your heartbeat, they shall be my last words on this journey called Life, for I have written you into my eternity, 
And I will take care of you.

-N.I.MANUEL🍁
