You are We

I would die a million times
To save you from the pain of life.
I'd take that bullet or poison pill,
And if I had to, I would even kill,
Just so that you might live
Unfettered and uncaptive.


(tad bit of poetic grammar license down there. I love doing that. I feel all empowered and easily pleased)
Listening to Lana del Rey's "Blue Jeans" and imagining it differently inspired this as well as remembering a dream.

Here let me explain, because clearly that one sentence doesn't clear anything up.
Ignoring just a few lines from "Blue Jeans", it's easy to imagine that it's a song from a mother to her criminal son. I get shivers when I think about it like that. Two people being lovers, it just seems so much more easy to walk away. Familial love, however, can make someone psychotic because DNA is just that powerful.
Also, when I was in my mid teens, years ago, I had a dream that there was a party at my dad's house and someone had poisoned everything with little blue and white pills. And for some reason (that reason being "its a dream") someone HAD to die or it wasn't going to stop. Rather than have my siblings poisoned, I systematically took every blue and white pill I could find. I totally pulled a Tinkerbell. And then I died and my sister found me in my dad's bathroom. (I never die consciously/spiritually in dreams. the reason I know I died is because then i can see myself 3rd person. 99% of the time I dream 1st person. When I dream-die, I see myself usually from an overhead view and my body just stops doing its breathing and moving thing until I bother to gasp awake). So, I like to think that nightmares like those, not only show me that I have the strength and good heart to lead my life capably, but that I can experience death (in any form, other peoples death, near death experiences, my own death) more humanly and intelligently. Death is only scary because you don't know what it really is. I've found that anthropomorphizing death has changed my relationship with it. If you look at it like a powerful demigod its almost something to worship. And you can rationalize that just because you don't see the logic and meaning in someone's death, it doesn't mean it's not there.
