Always

I hide you away in the chambers of my heart
Secretly, where I will protect and keep you safe
Your spirit runs freely with the rush of my blood
And you flow down to my fingertips and toes
I feel you and I'm given the strength to live
Living to keep you alive, it's how I define my life
I swallow the pain and the fatigue
I close my eyes to shut out the tears
And these things I endure willingly
So no one can tear you from me
So I can stay with you, always.

Inspired by Peeta Mellark's love for Katniss.
There was never a more selfless love. It's admirable.
