If I had to Stare Death in the Eye ~ Kudisha Singh

I held every door open for you,

I would climb every wall you built.

I fixed you up when you fell apart,

I showed the light when,

You were hidden amongst the shadows,

I was the only ship that didn't sink in your seas.

When you took the suitcase,

I took the blame.

When you walked in,

You walked out,

I gave you my wings when yours were broken,

I made the crowds shout your name,

I waited for you in the pouring rain,

Lay your roses on my grave,

One day you too would have to cross the bridge,

I will be waiting for you on the other side
