I will drink of the most bitter poison
Taste its strength upon my dry and cracked lips
Knowing my mind has lost sense of reason
Still, I would keep taking the damning sips

I would place the blade of the sharpened knife
Upon my breast, the point cold in its cut,
Feel it drain the blood from this useless life
As sight grows dim, these eyes begin to shut

I could drown in depths of oceans endless
To sink in its dark and watery grave
Of falling to sleep in dreams bottomless,
Yet another with crushed hopes to be saved

I would do these things rather willingly
Than suffer ever, you apart from me

~oh, the things we would do for love...physical pain, death...both easier to take than heartbreak

~I am the keeper of what he cast off~

Once we've known love's touch, no sacrifice is too much to keep it near. *S*

Absolutely gorgeous write!!

These are e-motions of the heart that cause high waves upon the ocean of love.

Most beautiful!

Love,
