The Bargain

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy95kygnDz

Take this offering,

my skin and marrow,

my breath carved into the void,

a sacrifice given to the unseen.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Al2ckkXNr

Let my pulse falter,

so his heart beats steady,

and let my bones bear the pressure

so his shoulders can rise,

unburdened by the hardships

that cling to his name.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon76WWPDdO

Take whatever light remains in me,

the eruption of my essence,

the last, fragile ember,

and trade it for his freedom,

for the time he needs

to dream without fear,

to be without end.

15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznjLOyQG1V

Let me vanish,

a gentle gift,

so that he may stay,

radiant,

eternal.
