For you,
I’d cross miles of sand.
even if it didn’t feel nice.
I’d stay and hold your hand,
Through fire and ice.
So I guess,
For you,
I’ll smile,
and i’ll laugh,
and crinkle my nose for a while,
’cause I love you.
And,
I’ll pretend I don’t want to die.
I’ll pretend that I don’t lie in bed and cry,
And that the shine is still in my eyes,
I’ll pretend that,
I don’t want my life to end.
That I haven’t sat, and contemplated,
how to untangle my complicated,
Unruly
life.
