Make of me whatever you desire. Empty me of everything but you. Memory's the light without the fire, Offering a glimpse of what will do. Remember me for your sake, not for mine. I'm nothing now but what you want to see, A well-wrought miniature of your design, Laid to rest within your marquetry. Days of longing are for you alone As I turn slowly into soil and stone, Yielding what means nothing more to me.
