I would kiss your eyelids, smiling as I did so.
Because as much as She meant to you, I could always mean more.
I would bloom in your presence, like flame and oxygen.
I would not be ashamed,
I would not disobey,
I would be my own creature in you.
I'd cross my heart and hope to die before I'd hurt you.
I'd please you and make you smile, but you would never know.
Oh, everything I'd give up to do so! But still, you'd never know.
Sacrifices don't need to be announced.
