For You I'd Die Again
I fought the cold
that I gave myself,
and tried to melt
this ice,
but to keep the dead warm
is too much to ask,
so I merely exist
in this warm body
while my soul is frozen
and far from life,
even with this so
I laugh and smile
when I hold you close,
and I believe for a moment
that the ice is melting
and for this I love you
even willing again to die
if that is what it means
to love and lose,
but I will hope
that I will not
die for you
but rather life,
for you I risk
all the life that
I have felt
