Lightkeeper

Lightkeeper - Bo Bruce

Four walls

Two of us

My feet

And a window to the street

Paintings

Stare at me

They're not yours

There's your necklace on my arm

Cubicles and cotton reels

The hum of the machines

I will not be silenced

I will not be quiet

I will rage at will rage at the dying of your light

I will not stop fighting

I am here beside you

I'll rage I will rage at the dying of your light

Needles

In our arms

Medicine

And ink to slow the harm

Skin thin

Blue dressing gown

Sleeping rose

Your blood is still in me

Miracles and chemicals

The hope of their pursuit

I will not be silenced

I will not be quiet

I'll rage at will rage at the dying of your light

I will not stop fighting

I am here beside you

I'll rage I will rage at the dying of your light

I will not be silenced

I will not be quiet

I'll rage I will rage at the dying of your light

I will not stop fighting

I am here beside you

I'll rage I will rage at the dying of your light
