One

If you wish to burn me,
You needn't have to ask.
Let your flames sear my heart.
If you wish to hurt me,
Let me feel your pain.
I find my life in death's own art.

If you wish to drown me,
I will fall to all depths.
Let me drown in your ocean blue.
If you wish to heal me,
You will be my saviour.
Alas! No saviour will find you.

If you wish to break me,
I am your broken lies.
My only dream shall come undone.
If you wish to love me,
I am yours to death.
There is you. There could only be one.

By,
