Die For You

Die For You

A Poem by Dennis Shanaberg

If you asked me to,
I would die for you.
I would--
D--
I--
E
All
For you.
If you asked me to,
I would kill for you.
I would--
K--
I--
L--
L
for you.
I would do anything,
except for one thing
Because I will never leave.

You have got my heart.
Oh, baby, you have got my hands.
Each and every day.
I fall in love again.
You are my beating heart--
The life that's in my veins.
You are my heroine--
My drug making me insane.
Fiery passion bright--
My perfect morning light--
Such a goddamned lovely sight--
Makes me high to such a height.
I would give it all--
Take on the whole damned world
'Till no one's in my way,
And you'll always be my girl.

If you asked me to,
I would die for you.
I would--
D--
I--
E
All
For you.
If you asked me to,
I would kill for you.
I would--
K--
I--
L--
L
for you.
I would do anything,
except for one thing
Because I will never leave.

You are beautiful,
My darling future bride.
You will look so bright
Dressed in flawless white.
Your eyes that haunt my nights--
Brilliant stained glass dreams.
Your love tears me apart--
My heart's bursting at the seams.
Darkness in my mind
Fading in the past.
Clouds from long gone times
Clearing up so fast.
With the light that you exude
And that sweet thing that you do,
Anyone that gets close to you
Should know their lives are through.

If you asked me to,
I would die for you.
I would--
D--
I--
E
All
For you.
If you asked me to,
I would kill for you.
I would--
K--
I--
L--
L
for you.
I would do anything,
except for one thing
Because I will never leave.

It pains me to see how undervalued this beautiful piece of writing is. So much brilliance! This could definitely turn into a song. "Brilliant stained glass dreams" and
"Clouds from long gone times" that's absolutely stellar writing at its finest. Keep it up and never be discouraged. You have talent not to be ignored; shame to those who cannot see it, or acknowledge it when they do. Thank you for sharing.
