The Weight of Sacrifice
I loved her deeply, though one-sided it was,
I buried my feelings, for a father’s cause.
I shared my heart, my story, my pain,
With you, my friend, through sunshine and rain.
You became my shelter, my trusted guide,
But now I see it was all one-sided.
You too made me the sacrifice to be,
Losing you, for your happiness, set me free.
Why must it always be me to understand,
To carry the weight, the pain in hand?
Why every time must I bear the cost,
Of love that fades, of friends I’ve lost?
This time I tried to hold on tight,
But you left me, vanished from sight.
Now I’m adrift, unsure and afraid,
Of the love that may come or the games I’ve played.
Will I trust again, will I believe?
Or just use, discard, and leave?
Will the next love heal or break my soul?
In this journey of life, I’ve lost control.
I don’t know what’s next, I don’t know what’s right,
But I’ll face the dark, and search for light.
