Shattered Gold
She gives and gives
For what?
Drained near the point
Of no return
But
Who saves her when she needs it?
Who extends an arm to pull up
Back to the top?
Who makes her pain stop?
No one
I refuse to stand by
And do nothing
As her world faded to black
I will give all of me
Down to the skin off my back
Just to make her whole again
It bothers me
You love me
So what do should you do
I’ll leave it all up to you
If I’m asking for too much
Then there’s nothing for you to touch
I’ll do what we promised not to
Stay quiet about the issue
Because hey
You hro
Whatever it takes
That’s what I do
Just for her
My last dime
My last breath
I’d give it all
Just for her
Degree number two
Mom this is all for you
You raised me right
Helped me become bright
So you’ll always be thanked
As I walk across the stage
I’ll look towards you
Beam at me
Let the tears flow
Another achievement down
So much more to go
What would you give
For the one you love?
The most you’d give
Should be your all
No questions
No hesitation
Offer before you’re asked
Prove your love
Even when you
Don’t need to
Sacrifice
No matter what
Until the costs
No longer matter
You’re not ready
To have the things
That you want most
All plans put aside
Everything cancelled
Even though
She looked forward to them
Just to spend
A day together
Doing anything
Just for me
Love was put first
Just for me
I don’t know if this will do
It’s the best of me
I want to give it all to you
It’s the last of me
I want to use it
To try to complete you
I’ve noticed that you need love
I can offer all that I have
Hopefully it’s good enough for you
For so long I have been trying to share
No one wanted it
They didn’t appreciate it
I am trusting you to be different
It’s fragile
Easily broken
So take care of it
I will show you how
In return I will take care of you
I promise to do the best I can
Cupid’s arrows went through one side and out the next
Those who betrayed his love used serrated blades
Sliced and diced, removing heavy chunks
Footprints show how it was burst it wide open
Stitches ran from the bottom to the top
Across the middle and from side to side
Bandages and gauge applied with the aim
Of keeping in the blood
Nothing could make it beat normally as it should
When she saw it she cried
Becasue for so long she knew he lied
When he said that he was fine
So she took pieces of her own heart
Transplanted them onto his and then
It started to beat normally again
She had taken his battered heart
And loved him with what she had left
For she had loved him from the start
The hurt she once felt
Clouded her judgement of love
She couldn’t recognize it anymore
She forgot how to show it
She was almost unable to
Express her love the way she wanted
All she knew was pain
It broke her heart in two
The pieces kept apart by the memories
I want her to know love again
For the first time
So I’m going to love her until it hurts
Even if it destroys me
So that I can take away her pain
Until love is all that is left
Until love is all she knows
