One Thing I Ask of You, Is That You Save My Heart

we both know it wont stop untill you do it;
you need to and you want to;
be cold
be ruthless
be bold
express

slice me limb from limb
its what i deserve
fill my despair to the brim
hack my every nerve

make each cut as painful as possible:
you need to and you want to;
each torch 
and stab 
each scorch
and jab 

cut each bit till all thats left
are useless slabs of meat
neither of us will be bereft
until then you wont be complete

one thing i ask of you
is that you save my heart
keep it as good as new
smiling face as we depart

Can you smile if you depart,,can you save your heart if you go away when you love her still this much,, i bet your lady loves you just as much,, i dont think she would stab you.. i think she would want to hug you,, i would if the man i loved would say such words.. i would hug him.. and i think that heart in the title would mean so much to her..many emotions stirred indeed-Charma
