My Gift & Your Part

A poem about love and the responsibility one takes on when you promise to love.

With this heart
I thee give
I promise my part
Forever to live

Until such day
As you see fit
To change the way
Your love does hit

For when it comes
My heart will die
Parts do control the sums
My body thus forever lie

So be you kind
When my gift you take
For if other love you find
My death you make
