Issha S Bose Poet Free verse

I would live for you

You say you'd die for me,
but what if 
all I ever wanted 
was for you to live for me? 

For what's the point of love 
If it doesn't make you 
Want to endure 
This torment of a journey
Even a little bit? 

If you were to ask me, 
I would. 

I would live for you
If it meant I could be with you for longer
I would live for you 
Even if it meant I'd be held up in the chains of a reality called life
I would live for you 

Even if I'd have to live through this stark verity, 
For something so unreal as you 

Yes, 
I would live for you.
