Personal Sacrifice
If I could give you,
Happiness on a gold plate,
At the expense of
My life, I would gladly give
Myself to Death's cold doorstep.
If my blood would bring,
A smile to your long face,
A light in your eyes,
I would not hesitate to
Bring a blade down upon me.
If my passing would
Free your persistent worries,
Unchain you of woes,
I would sacrifice myself,
Over a million times.
If only I could,
If only it was simple,
Your happiness in
Exchange for me, I would give
My body and my spirit.
