I don't have one thing
to give to you
you don't need one thing
besides it all just comes from you
still I had to ask you
despite my emptiness
cause I had the illness
that I could not fix

the dragon inside me
I asked you to slay
you asked your father
if there were other ways
but this beast could be slain
by no one else
and no other way but
to put it in yourself

I started crying
asking you why
why would you love me
so much that you'd die
you said "my dear child,
I love you, yes it's true,
cause loving you is what
I 
do."
