All That She Wanted to Know

When she wanted to see the oceans,

I showed her my tears

When she wanted to see a volcano,

I showed her my heartbreak

When she wanted to see the rivers,

I showed her how blood runs for her in my veins.

When she wanted to see the stars,

I showed her my eyes, so she could see her image.

When she wanted to know heaven,

I showed her memories of her.

When she wanted to know hell,

I showed her my life without her.

When she wanted to know the vastness of the sky,

I showed her my love.

When she wanted to know the depth of the earth,

I showed her her place in my heart.

When she wanted to feel happiness,

I showed her my dreams, with her in them.

When she wanted to feel sadness,

I showed her my longing, in her absence.

When she wanted to feel peace,

I showed her how I find comfort in her.

When she wanted to feel warmth,

I gave her a tight hug.

When she wanted to know loyalty,

I showed her how I love her without her.

When she wanted to know love,

I said she would never know,

as she didn't accept mine to show.

When she wanted to know hate,

I showed her how she rejected me.

When she said she loved flowers,

I promised to show her my funeral.
