You took my place

You walked a road
that was meant for me.
You hung in my place
on a twisted tree.
You suffered the cold
of my prison cell.
You endured my torment,
taunts and yells.
The nails you took,
they screamed my name.
Upon your shoulders
you bore my shame.
Those were my tears
that you chose to cry.
I was the one who
was destined to die.
There is no greater love.

The brave may die...but the cautious never live...

What a touching tribute to love.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
