If I could

If I could,

I would give you my heart,

So that your life could then simply restart,

 

Your eyes are blue,

bloodshot and tired,

You soul is something,

I have always admired,

 

If I could,

I would give you my breath,

So that with each inhale,

you life could then simply refresh,

 

Your hands are strong,

rough, and kind,

Your soul is something,

I could search for an eternity and not find,

 

If I could,

I would give you my blood,

So that with each drop that falls,

Your life then could simply be refilled by the flood,

 

Your mind is calm,

simple and confused,

Your soul is something,

that has left me eternally infused,

 

If I could,

I would give you my life,

So that forever after,

Your days then could simply be rife,

 

Your body is sore,

misused and unkempt,

Your soul is something,

that from the chains of humanity will be exempt,

 

All that I can give,

is all of my love,

In hopes that with each and every hug,

your soul may fly free like a dove,

I will love you forever,

and someday we shall be endlessly at ease up above.
