A sacrifice for something unreal
A Sacrifice for Something Unreal
I struggled and fought; I gave it my all.
But you kept on pushing, trying to make me fall.
I was killing me just to give us life.
As you stood by and watched, causing strife.
My lungs were burning, my vision blurred.
You never seemed to care or hear a word.
I was drowning, trying to save you from the deep
But you were only concerned with what you could keep.
I kept on fighting, even as I sank.
My heart was heavy, my mind in a blank
But through it all, I never lost sight.
Of trying to save you, with all my might.
In the end, I pulled us both to shore.
Despite the pain and wounds, I still wanted more.
For I knew that love was worth the fight
And I would do it all again, to save you that night.
- Ayn Asif
