The Kind of Love You’ll Never Know Again

You are a book –

People will have to read your story in order

To truly understand you as a person,

And my name is written on every page –

In full, indelible ink.

I'm here to stay like a tattoo ink on delicate skin –

Unable to be removed or pain will course

Throughout your soul like a raging beast.

They could give you light in your darkest times,

But I'd fly high like Icarus and steal the sun

From the sky and offer it to you –

No matter if I smelt like wax and fall into the depths of the earth –

For Icarus was smiling as his feathers withered into nothingness.

They could give you flowers with fragrance that smells like heaven, but I'd climb up to heaven, itself, and pick only the most beautiful flowers for you and even speak of your Name with the Lord.

They could build snowmen for you to accompany you

During the coldest moments of your life,

But I'd climb up the infinite ladder of the endless sky

And drag a thousand splendid suns into our world just

So you wouldn't have to suffer in this harsh winter.

They could offer you a glass of water

After walking through a scorching desert,

But I would dig a giant hole in the sand

And fill it up with water to the brim

With only buckets in my hands –

I’d walk through deserts and trenches.

They could write a song about you,

They could paint you into a beautiful canvas –

But my darling, I would take a knife

And carve your name on every tree in the world,

And even so, the world is not worthy to know your name.

They could ask the deities’ blessings to have you

But my dear, I’d make both the divine and the cursed

Bow before you

And speak of your name

As if it’s the scripture.

They could give you the world’s sturdiest umbrella

To keep you safe during a storm.

But my love, I would rip my ribs out of my body

And form a shelter for you with my bones and skin.

They could stay with you from morning until night,

But I would fish the sun

And bring it back to the sky,

Just to be with you a little longer.

They could die for you,

But I would climb out of my coffin

And crawl back to you.

They could destroy the universe for you,

But I would stay soft

In this wretched world –

I would stay alive solely for you

And experience all the good things in life –

Feel the love of your heart

And the warmth of your soul.
