Burdened Healer

Vows I've sworn (sworn to keep) Within these walls, where hearts are tried And in their eyes (eyes that plead) I see the trust, the fear they hide When the dark descends (night calls) Silent prayers to shadows hold Through sleepless nights (long nights) My mind, it weighs, this oath so grave Where your pulse, life’s line, I trace In my hands, fate's quiet play When the daylight fades (it fades) Decisions heavy, in my hold In silent halls (halls echo) I bear the weight, the hopes that cling For every choice (choices mine) A life at stake, a soul to keep As I stand alone (alone I stand) With steady hands, yet heart that quakes
