Live for Me

a/n: I was just thinking about how people say they’d die for someone. While it’s a noble gesture, I think it’s more practical to live for someone but people never really do…because living is harder than dieing, I suppose. I’d rather you be with me every single day than give up your life. My first villanelle. Sorry if it’s not too good. ’

‘Always stay by my side’ is my one plea/How can you love when you’re so far away/Dying, but I want you to live for me

Staying strong is what young men want to be/Believing that they fight in the right way/‘Always stay by my side’ is my one plea

Protecting loved ones is your own decree/Sacrificing your own life come what may/Dying, but I want you to live for me

Did you ever think about how sad we/Would be without you coming home this day/‘Always stay by my side’ is my one plea

‘I gave up this life so you’d be happy’/Loving clear eyes tear and cry when you say/Dying, but I want you to live for me

One truth that I kept so deep now you see

Wishing hard now we had more time to play

‘Always stay by my side’ is my plea

Dying, but I want you to live for me
