I would watch the world burn if it meant to warm you up
I would see rivers of blood flow if you wished to turn the white roses crimson
I would observe the stars fall and die and the universe end—
and all if it meant I get a glimpse of you again
I would finish every ink and write on every paper that exists
if even a single poem of them lit up your smile
I would catch every firefly and make the night sky if you wished to stargaze
I would rip out every fabric to drape out your elegance
I would use all the clay in the world because all of you, in just a single sculpture I can't contain

I would separate every grain of salt to make up for the tears you've lost
I would trade my soul to bring you back
Buy you all the fortune even if my everything it costs
I would gather you all the clovers and dandelions
I would gather every melody, every choir
I would sing buried songs on Achilles's lyre

To utter of what beauty after the mention of yourself
To find where such illuminance
Even the gold corroded and diamond broke down
Mountains wrecked and rivers dried out
Yet your serenity pertains, you've seen them close
Undying fire that sits in your arms
Intricate webs of tenderness spun into your heart

I would empty every ocean if it meant to find you a pearl
I would steal the nights hue if you wished for any of it's colors
For you I would ignite people that hurt
For you I would fetch drowning memories untouched
For you I would join the rain
For you, a thousand times I'll do it again
