Selfish Pleas and Selfless Gestures

I'm ready to collapse.
Drive, until the sun comes up.
Run until I can't take another breath
Bite my tongue until it bleeds.
Fall.
I'm ready to be new.
Keep on moving, running away.
Paint a continually new universe for you.
Hide everything for the sake of love.
Skew the meaning of four letter words.
I'm ready to be broken.
Leave what's left of myself on the floor
Pick up any of your heart that's been broken
Stay up all night just to make sure it's okay
Give until there's nothing left to give.
I'm ready to give up myself.
There's nothing now I could ever give more love.
The world has proved me completely wrong.
Everything I have is yours.
Take want you want
and leave what you don't.
I don't blame you for not seeing.
When you break, I break in two.
I cry when you leave crying.
Your pain is moved to my shoulders.
I would carry you, if you let me.
But I'm ready
to go on.
Let me be second.
I can handle the burden.
It's mine now for life.
And I'm yours
in whatever sense you want me.
