WILL YOU?

Hey, my love,
Before my heart forgets a beat
Before I swallow this wandering air
Before I lend you my body tonight
Or touch yours now

Hey my peach
I hunger to divulge this
This is for you
As I am for you
These words are yours
Just like I am yours

"You will own my body"
Memorize this pledge
I made before our foremost kiss
Before I held you firmly in my trunk
Before we exchanged saliva

"You will own my body"
I vowed
Here it is
Here on Earth
You will live to explore all its bulks
Before it fades away
Before I take my final breath
Before my life blows out

"You will own my body"
Do you remember this?
When it's gone
And indeed it will
What will you own?

After I have ripened into Earth
Will you eat plants whose roots shall be wearing down my rotten body?
Will you?
Will you shake hands with flies from my decaying body?
Will you?
Will you kiss air from my long-gone body?
Hey my darling
Will you?
Most important, will you die with me?
Will you accept us departing together?
Then transiting into souls
