Challenge Ended
I would do anything for love (but I won't do that).
In memory of Meat Loaf. Use this prompt for whatever comes to mind.

You say you’d cross the continents,
you’d catch a falling star.
You would climb the highest mountains,
then cross the desert’s heart.
You say you’d be my shining knight,
protect me from my pain,
and you say you’d slay each dragon
that ever kept me chained.
Braving the storms all alone,
fighting that I may be free.
Each feat is greater than the last,
to prove your love for me.
You rhyme off every adventure,
proudly stating your plans.
You look at me so hopefully,
though confused by my stance.
I smile softly and ask you why.
Speechless at my query.
I say I would not want you to,
your faces lines with worry.
I take your gentle hand in mine,
and then begin to speak.
“Love, for you’d I’d do anything,
but let you see me weak.”
