I Would Die For You

I love you enough
That I would give my life
And be tough
Pushing through stife

I would take my last breath
If that meant
That you could have the rest
They are sent

I would take one last look
At everything around me
Remembering it like a book
I give you my ability to see

Take my heart
That longs for you
But now since I am about to depart
I know this is what I must do

Take my body
And place it at its grave
This will be the only time
It can be saved

Line my casket
In flowers and lace
Have petals in a basket
One thing you can replace

Replenish my gone soul
With a fountain
With a bold
Statue of grace

Bury me
In moist earth
And let me be
This is what I deserve

This is all for you
What you want
I benefit from it to
Because now I'm gone.....
