I would be anything for you

If you would just let me do

This one thing before I die

So I can fall asleep dreaming of your eyes

Of the way the yellow will finally recede

The way your skin will brighten and be

The way it was when I first held you

And fed you cocoa butter kisses with a spoon

So that you can live on, long after I’m gone

Because my old bones haven’t got much going on

So let me put a part of me in you

So I can live through your blood and your soul and your liver
