Loves Sacrifice

I talk to fill the

Sound of silence

Stare into

Orbs of darkness,

They stare right past me

As they used to

Stare right through me

Into my

Tormented soul

Now they're dim

With thoughts

Of

Monsters

Left

Unconquered

He speaks of beasts

And turns away

When I speak of flowers

Every word

I utter

He doesn't

Wish to hear

He asked for me

To stand by him

To wait for him

Yet he doesn't seem to see

That

I've already sacrificed

Much more

For he

Than he for me

I need some

Solid ground

On which to build

Yet all he's given me

Is rocky, mysterious terrain

I wish there were a way

For him to know

What it is he wants

I can do no more than wait

And the action has me

Distraught

I wish he knew

The magnitude

Of my surrender
