My Life For You

Rubiyat Poem
My Life For You
 
 
 
I would give my future, for all your memories,
and still my soul quietly, from any earned appease.
I would make a sacrifice, the time of my remaining,
surrender to a drowning fate, surrendering in ease.
 
 
I would give away my sight; my very blood away,
and all that is within me - this gentle heart’s convey.
I would lose my inner dreams; all the yet forthcomings,
and deny myself for you, and all there is, betrayed.
 
 
I would give all I am, and all I’ve ever known,
and live among a death; live in hell alone.
Withdraw my living breath, from this lonely destiny
and refuse my life, let go of living; deny my very own.
 
 
I bow my head forever, yield the next pursue.
For I will always love you; if only this, you knew.
When you’re not there - there is nothing there at all.
So I would give my life away. I would die for you.
