daggerz

By: mattheww benjamin

For you, I have been beaten,
tortured...
but for you, I would do it all again.

That you can't comprehend the extent of my love,
breaks my heart over and over....
the pain of 1,000 daggers piercing my skin.

What hurts me most is you’re close enough to touch,
but not quite close enough to obtain.

We are good friends.
But, on the subject of love... you wish to execute me.
...I can’t bear that pain.

So I hold my head high,
and admire your beauty from a distance.
