Trade

If I could only have you now
I would trade anything,
for there's no price that is too grand
if you would wear my ring.

If my flesh and blood were vital
To meet with the demand,
I’d swiftly sacrifice an arm
If just to hold your hand.

If it were seen imperative
I would forfeit my sight,
and only view you with eyes closed
during my dreams at night.

If its my voice that's called upon
To make sweet the bargain,
I’d gladly lop off my own tongue,
actions speak more than jargon.

If the pact were judged still wanting
Perhaps my wits would serve?
Long as they leave your memories,
which fill up every nerve.

If it were my strength that's pressing
to clinch the transaction,
If I've still the might to hold you,
then there's no infraction.

There's none of me I would not cede
Save for a single part,
For that alones not mine to give
Because you own my heart.
