GREAT FEATS WITH A COST

If I lose my eyes

Just to have your eyes

Then I’ll have no eyes

To see the colour of your eyes

Must it always be at a cost?

If I give my ears

To have your ears

Then I’ll have no ears

To listen to your sounds as my words travel into your ears

Must it always be at a cost?

If I give my hands

To have your hands

Then I’ll have no hands

To feel the warmth of your hands

Must it always be at a cost?

If I give my legs

For you to follow with your legs

Then I’ll have no legs

To walk beside your legs

Great feats for love, must it always come at a cost?

If I give my heart

For you to have me in your heart

Then I’ll have no heart

To even know I’m in your heart

Great feats, must it always come at a cost?

Can’t you have everything that is yours?

Can’t I have everything that is mine

Can’t reason solve all our barring tricks?

For us to be in everlasting bliss?

These costs do always come with holes of doubt.
