| My Sacrifice I’ve been counting the seconds since I saw you for the last time. I know it wasn’t done in vain. Obligation pushed me, but love threw me in. Water filed my airways, but my pride wouldn’t let me cry out. The sea of doubts and fears, pain and tears tries to engulf me… But, I had to save you. I didn’t think I’d survive, until I remembered that look in your eyes. Sparkling diamonds fell from your cheeks; it was as if all the angels of Heaven held their breath at that moment. Now tears soak my cheeks, but that surely isn’t weakness. During the sunsets of the past, I put my ear against your back, and held you while listening to the steady rhythm of your beating heart. The light was defeated by the darkness… I now sit on the shore. The icy wind of pain cloaks my stooped-over shoulders. Does it hide my revealing purple scars? Something had to be given up to keep you from suffering. So, don’t cry love. I can’t wipe your tears away. My ice blue eyes stare at the pool of dirtied water, but there is still a beautiful reflection of the moon. The same moon will shine gentle beams upon you as you slumber. The only way to see you are in my dreams–tonight is a sleepless night. We are half of each other; please stay strong. I’ll always love you, and I hope you saw that in my offering. Someday, with these hands, I will protect you from everything and anything; even though, now, it seems as an eternal gap. It was my choice… My Sacrifice. |
