Sacrifice

You never leave my mind,
constantly I think of you.
I just hope I’m not alone in this,
that you think of me too.

Every time I see you,
I just want to hold you tight.
To never let go of you,
to love you through the night.

But every time I see you,
you have to leave shortly after.
In my paranoid mind,
I can almost hear his laughter.

Every time you go,
my body starts shaking.
Tears well up in my eyes,
I feel my heart breaking.

This part time relationship we have,
was ok in the start.
But it’s getting harder every day,
it is tearing us apart.

I wish you would see the truth,
there is no easy way.
You only hurt yourself and me,
the longer you stay.

I love you so much,
I will wait for you forever.
I will sacrifice myself for you,
even though it’s not clever.

I know love is all about sacrifice,
and I do this willingly.
But please come home soon,
understand this is killing me.

I can only trust in our love,
and the power of your feelings for me
That you will not sacrifice me,
waiting for things that will never be.
