I WOULD PUT YOU ON A PEDESTAL

 

I would put you on a pedestal

and prostrate myself before you

I would worship you like a god

I would proffer my heart

On an ornate silver platter.

For your avaricious consumption

I would give you all my love

Unconditionally, unrequited

And thank you for your indifference

I would cherish you in my life,

Even if you broke my heart in pieces.

I would look upon you lovingly

And gratefully receive your look of disdain

All this I would happily endure

Just to feel, for the briefest moment

The warmth of your embrace
