Forever I'm There

My life be taken,
Least yours be saved;
My tummy be empty,
So your hunger be staved.

My heart be broken,
To let yours be free;
This is in essence,
What love means to me.

All I can do,
To make your life well;
I'll fight fierce battles,
To keep you from hell.

I'd take all your sorrow,
To keep you from pain;
Till madness comes on me,
And still not refrain.

No matter your manner,
Be harsh or be fair,
I'll always adore you,
Forever I'm there.
