Anthology for a Friend: Conquistador

I'm creating an anthology of poems, and hopefully artwork, for my best friend's birthday. Some of these poems are questionable and first drafts. Some of them reveal things that I wouldn't share.

I would carve away hours

Just to see you smile

To see you laugh

For your mouth to widen 

Four miles

So please

Beloved

Remove yourself from the sorrow

From the sadness

The hopeless aching feeling in your chest

Because when I hear you're so dependent 

I can tolerate it less and less

Please give up this unhealthy passion

And indulge my own

The charm they have enchants you

Too easily

Let go of the desire of love

Yours is one sided

Mine whole hearted

I want to be anything to you

I am but humble to your name

And weak in my knees, heart and mind

You are guilty of treason toward yourself

You bend to anyone

We are only flesh and bones

So how far must you flex

Before you break?

Leave these worldly desires

For a former admire.

That conquistador came

Conquered

Then abandoned the colony

To fend for itself

For your heart to be neglected

Hungry for love and continuously attacked

And once again by  conquistador.

Yet nothing but a shell,

The former has seized your heart.

I don't want to see more tears

Until they are those of overwhelming happiness

I want to talk freely with you

Without the mention of attackers (who stole your heart)

Only then will I reach happiness

I can only do so 

When you do

Author's Note

Ignore my ability to create titles. Also, my inability to reduce the times I say "conquistador" or "conquer." Also the awkward stanzas and the phrase that is in the parentheses, you should probably ignore.
