I would
by Mae D MoreyI would
sacrifice a million lifetimes
to earn the moment
when i can walk this tightrope
and fall,
to be caught
in the net
that is you.
I would
sacrifice each mortal heartbeat
for a breath
for a whisper from you
before I die inside
recriminating myself
for the things I may leave unsaid.
I would only try to deserve
the wonder that is your love.
I can only pray you wont say goodbye
when the sparrows sing, having finally said
I love you. 07/14/2006 Posted on 07/14/2006
