I wanted to Give my Heart

I wanted to give my heart away;

To serve a patch of my bliss,

And to willingly keep all desire at bay

for a Cause higher than basis.

***

I wanted to know that Something more

Reigned behind it all;

That life was not just beat and breath nor

groundless rising when you fall.

***

I wanted to have just one oppurtunity

to give up of my own;

I wanted to sicken this immunity

to a life just caught and thrown.

***

I wanted to sacrifice to Something higher;

To love Something awfully, sanelessly;

To burn for something in a raging fire;

But I wanted to do it painlessly.
