My Love

If I to love you, I must drown
Because to love you,
I must strip myself 
Of all protection
And I must choke on 
My own bloody desires 
In the pool of lust and passion
But for you darling,
I am willing, 
to see the hazy end
I am willing to love you so,
That my adoration and worship 
Seeps from my eyes and through sacred words
Leaving me only yours
Till the earth rots over.
