In Reply To Your Death

Would I give it all up for you?
You asked if that's what I would do.
Compared to you everything is worthless
A glimpse of your smile is priceless.

To break a promise, give you a hug
Or just stand there and give a shrug
Hold your hand, give you a kiss
Or your fading I would just dismiss?

Lay with you on the bed here?
While I whispered sweet in your ear?
Or just let you be in pain
Would I still be sane?

At your funeral, would I sing there?
If you died would I even care?

I would be praying to the lord
Your death isn't something my small heart can afford
I wouldn't fast for a week
I would forever more cry
I would fast forever
until I die

If somehow you did survive
Would I help you to revive?
Helping you to learn to live life?
Always on the edge like a sharp knife?

Would I do that?
Could I do that?
No.

Because the thought of losing you
It kills me.
