a letter to my lover

if you think you're heartless then I'll give you mine and if that doesn't work I will break my own heart and use the pieces to fix yours.

if you think you're not human then I'll give you my humanity, when the hope inside of you dies you can take mine.

As someone who survives on mere hope, I would use the last flame from my candle to keep yours alive.

I will give you everything I have because everything inside of me Is yours. every piece has your name etched so deep into it,

that I could scrub my lungs that breathe your name and I could scrub my heart that beats for you until I tear them apart. yet you would remain there like a parasite fueling yourself with everything I have.
