barter

You have no idea how many times I bartered away everything to the powers that be so that I could have you. All my possessions. All my riches. My life. All my love. I asked time and time again, but my wager was never enough. I offered up my very soul, to which I was granted a small token- that I might only have a glimpse of you from time to time. It was more than I could have hoped for and yet something so difficult I could hardly bear. But I willingly settled upon that, so that I had something of you.
