daintily gulped; make me unconscious instead,
If you were going to chop her fingers when the thieves marauding the house
committed the heinous crime; chop my fingers instead,
If you were going to make her perpetually dumb as she attempted to sing; make me
dumb instead,
If you were going to burn her to ashes when the miscreants on the street drenched
her body with a tank inundated with kerosene; burn me instead,

If you were going to make her lie in a pool of ghastly blood by the riverside as the
pugnacious rays of the Sun wholesomely took upon their toll; make me ooze a
sea of blood instead,
And if you were going to snatch her away from the surface of this earth forever
closing the chapter of her existence; snatch me instead; as if you didn’t do
so Almighty Lord; then you would be taking two lives at a time; as I would inevitably
join her in heaven a few moments after; whether you wanted or didn’t want me too .
