GIVEN

you didn't steal my heart
no, i freely left it
for you to take
because i adore you
even heartless i don't abhor you
for you must need it
more than i
some need two to fly
while others don't even require one
content to watch their lovers run
never think i'd turn you away
darling, comeback any day
if you need a lung from me
i'd gift you both for you to breathe
and so i'd sit forever more
a vacant shell of what i was before
if it means you'll forever live
using the heart that i give
