A FUNNY KIND OF LOVE

I gave it all to you
My body, heart, and soul 
The trinity that is me

Because of my love for you 
I gave them freely 

But one is not honored
The other is put to shame 
The third is consumed 
Like fuel, heat, and flames 

Nevertheless, I love you still 
And would surrender my life 
For your happiness 
Like the heavens emptying itself 
Of the last of its snow and rain 

Love doth give the whole 
And if the heavens height can be measured 
Then my love for you can be touched 
As ones everlasting soul 

I love you
And that's all that matters 
Do with my heart as you please 
For to this end was I created 
To love you unconditionally.
