For you.
For you I’d slaughter universes.

And when our love grows as cold as my veins;
When it can’t be ignited by the blood, tears, and gold of a thousand cities,
Then for you I’d arise new moons,
Moons to light an empty world.

For I am death, and I am in love.
I have truly fallen for you.
I have been stricken with the dreamer’s disease of youth,
And the cruel illness of humanity,
And with this ailment every second seems a story and every miniscule moment a novel.

So by whatever god this disorder has come to know, I now ask with all that I have to present to you,
Let me be a part of your novel.
Let me belong here.
Don’t turn away.

Thanks to all of you who have supported me. It means more than you could ever see on paper. Now for the bit about the poem: They say that love knows no bounds, but does it know the constraints of anxious apathy?
