Cost of Love
written by: Luiz Syphre

For your love:
I’m willing to risk an eternity in agony if I should ever fail you.
I would cry for you night and day,
The brave and strong defender forgotten.
Pity would be measured by my tears as I would be the definition thereof.
For your love:
I would exist as a shell of my former,
lose all material possessions and be a transient ’til death, for I would lose the slightest interest in life without you. I would endure this existence eternal if you not returned to me.
For your love:
I don’t offer you my best or an empty promise of it…those things are freely given and trivial.
Instead, I offer you what nobody else will
My slow death in a meager existence of depression and pain if I should ever fail you.
I risk all this once and again for a chance at your returning love.
Is this not the cost for your love?
Sit there and answer, as I pay it!
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
I actually lived this over a love that would no longer be.
