For them


It's hard to be told,

Something unwanted,

By a loved one-

Heart and mind daunted.

 

Yet I'd go beyond limits,

If that's what they ask.

I'd break my heart myself,

For them to bask.

 

To prove a point,

That they don't know,

I'd wreck my mindset,

Pull on a show.

 

For them, I'd do it all.

For them, I'll spill my blood.

For me they wouldn't move my corpse, 

 If it fell with a thud.
