god, i am so devotedly in love with you; so hopeless, so relentless. i'd kiss and wash your feet with my tears. i would wipe it with my hair and perfume it. but even then, how sure am i you'd forgive all the mistakes and all the things i did that hurt you? i would do anything to prove how much i adore you; i'd kneel in front of you and bow my head down and never lift it up unless you say so. i'd built you statues upon statues and adorn it with all the things you love. i'd never speak ill of your name and tell people all the things i adore about you. i'd bring heaven to you and crawl through hell for you. i'd kill and create, i'd breathe and speak for you, i'd dream and sing and write poems about you so much so that zeus would wish someone would worship him the way i'd worship you. i'd find peace for you, i'll search the world for you. i'd offer you flowers and sit beside your statue like a loyal dog and only have my eyes for you. make me sit and lay down, tell me to fetch anything just so you don't have to stand up and do anything on your own. should you need to put your feet on the ground, i'd strip off my clothes and put them on the ground where you walk on.
i'd cut open your skin and crawl inside just so i could live and breathe inside you and learn more about you and never leave you.
open my ribcage and see for yourself how my body craves your presence and how my heart's rhythm will match with yours. rearrange my guts and pull them all apart, piece by piece and feel the blood on your feet. my heart will remain and you can never take it out, for it is the only proof you will ever have of someone's pure and never-ending romantic feelings.
i wish that you would love me; in all this love and innocence.
