What Would You Give-2

What would you give to save the man thou'st loves the most, Prayers knees bent low, begging before the almighty God Himself, beseeching him to take thee, in his stead, by all That’s holy. would I so sacrifice all that I am, this without Regrets shame I’d give. Banished to the fields of limbo’s realm, without name, Or identities human realization, I’d go trapped forever, A beast abandon, shunned by the light of heaven itself, Lost in this maze of the neither world for eternities sake, Yes for he, my beloved I’d go. Willingly, I'd give myself utterly onto the altar, of life and death, Yes even mine own soul, devil be the bargain. Red irons white hot, I'd bare the mark of hell's branding, Flesh sizzling unto the bone, I'd not scream, but remain silent, Shedding, no tears of agony to save him, just one moments pain. What would you give to save the man thou'st loves the most, I'd weep unceasingly, flooding the very earth itself Never stopping, even if the continents were swallowed Whole, nay I’d continue, until the lord god himself, releases The soul belonging to me, is freed unto my waiting arms. I’d fight vengeance's army single handed, in mortal combat Never wavering, challenging friend or foe if need be, but never Will I put down my shield of honor, or lay the sword of justice Aside, to protect that which is most dear to me, my beloved. A bleeding warrior, lying on the battlefield of loves devotion, I’d give my last breath for him, whom I love beyond existence. I’d give up on hopes and dreams, imaginations inspiration, To exist in the realm of delusions illusions forever, a wanton Creature of isolation, for without him I am nothing, so what Would I give, to save the man thou’st loves, the only answer Given is the honest one, everything, would not you do the same.

My heavens, this is amazing love~~~ Do you have such a man. They are very hard to find!!! I know I am not such a woman. This kind of person is very godlike. Your poem reminds me of a psalm from David!
