My Writings
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.
