Daughter of Shylock

My Dear,

I hold nothing in this world higher

Than the pedestal I've made for you.

 

I cherish your every breath

And every bat of your lashes

This wind knocks me over

Burns my flaming heart to ashes.

 

I'm sure you know what it means

When I say you're absolutely beautiful.

It means I've given my heart to you

But only we see the truth of it all.

 

I can't be without you anymore

I'm sorry, but it's true.

It's become your obligation to stay

Unless i grow completely through.

 

I'm here for as long as you'll have me;

I'll do whatever you need.

Don't worry about leaving my heart broken.

It's breaking piece by piece.
