Luminous [A poetry collection] ~ Canvas of Words

~ l i v e f o r m e ~

People say "I would die for you."
They don't seem to know what it really means.

If you die for me,
I'll be alone.

If you die for me,
I'll be in grief.

If you die for me,
you'll rip my heart
right from my chest
and tear it apart,
then take it with you
and into the heavens.

If you die for me,
I'll shed more tears
than my body holds,
I'll cry until I'm swimming.

Swimming in pain,
drowning in sorrow,
slowly going insane.

Now would you still die for me?
For the ones you love and care for?

I'm begging you
to do me a favor,
if anything happens,

live for me.
