Flagellation
I would hurt myself for you
Tear my body clean in two
I know it's not what you would want
But I am selfish in my love
I'd let the clouds under my skin
until I'm dark and cold within
Bare my chest, hacked wide open
lay my heart on stormy oceans
My shattered skull the seagulls' cave
inside, my loved for you engraved
and should my blood become the sea
the tides would change and follow thee
As my soul joins with the wind
You'd see your name if you squint
as a fleeting indication
of my undying dedication
It doesn't matter what you want
I want you happy, even if I'm not
I'd hurt myself to spare you pain
I love you. That will never change
