Because of You

I miss you...as the sky with no stars.
I miss you...as the babbling brook of shores afar.

I need you...as the rose which needs the rain.
I need you...as winters tears which cause so much pain.

I love you...as self which seeks always life.
I love you...as awakening pain is to strife.

I give you...all of me as the river which sings.
I give you... all of me as that which beauty doth bring.

I bleed for you...as the ravished thorn.
I bleed for you...as the soul weary and worn.

I die for you...because therein is love.
I die for you...because you shine from up above.
