A/N: Ok, so this is my entry for Evil Black Poppies April Challenge. If you want to enter, just go to her profile! Thanks for reading! Reviews--and possibly votes--pleeease? Set when Jace leaves Clary in search of Valentine in City of Glass.

For you I have lived;

In-between these desolate places,

I have become changed.

This half life of wakefulness and sorrow,

Is no longer enough to satisfy me.

I have tasted the fruit of temptation;

It is the sweetest.

***

For you, I have loved.

I have drawn these plans of hope and life,

But they can bear no weight.

I felt the tides of love, overbearing and crashing headfirst into my heart.

I have borne the weight of man,

And I have been found wanting.

***

For you, I will die.

With these Mortal Instruments in my hands,

I will sacrifice to the Artist.

Free of the weight of temptation, I shall find peace.

But I will not be satisfied.

***

For you you, I will wait

Among the Destiny of Man, and the playground of the Immortal,

I shall dwell,

in hopes that I have gained you Freedom.

For you, I will wait.

***

For only you, I have loved.
