For you, I drowned my pride and kept yours aloft,
protecting us.
For you, I dreamt of obsolete days and absolute nights,
that rejected to exist.
For you, I dried my heart from the stinking blood of past lives,
so it becomes pure anew.
For you, I promised not to shed tears again,
for water is for joy, not for a sad cause.
For you, I pledged my darling self to never live,
for life will not dare to be if you will not.
For you, I swore to never seek the tales of amnesic lovers,
In their plague I find my cure, but not yours.
For you, I fought every single man that lived and will live,
But then, each fight made us a history, written but unread.
For you, I created the walls upon which you can rest,
And I can admire my gift of sight.
For you, I shattered every sweet thing in a life,
Not knowing I shattered me with you, everywhere.
For you, I loved, and for you I shall die,
Through you my words may live,
and for lovers to swim in their tides.
