Sweet Sacrifice

In the depths of a starlit night
Beneath the moon's gentle glow
Lies a tale of a love so bright
But a heartache that runs deep and slow
A story of a love so pure
Between two souls entwined
But fate had a different lure
And their love was left confined
She was a beauty, a gentle dove
With eyes as deep as the ocean
He was a warrior, his heart full of love
Their love was a sweet devotion
They met in a field of wildflowers
Where their hearts were first intertwined
Their love bloomed like a rose with powers
But little did they know, fate was unkind
For the warrior was called to war
And their love was put to the test
He promised to return, forevermore
But it was a promise he couldn't keep, at best
She waited for him, with a heart full of hope
But her nights were filled with fear
As she prayed for his safe return to cope
But the news that came was something she couldn't bear
He was gone, his life a sacrifice
In the name of his country's call
And she was left with nothing but memories so nice
But his absence left her heart with an endless fall
Her tears fell like a symphony
As she mourned the love she lost
But in her heart, she held a legacy
Of a love that came at such a cost
She couldn't bear the pain of his loss
And so she did something so sweet
In his name, she took a solemn cross
And laid it at the feet
Of the ones who fought for their land
And sacrificed their everything
She honored them with a gentle hand
And in their memory, she would sing
Her love was a sweet sacrifice
That she vowed to carry on
A love that was paid at such a heavy price
But in her heart, it would forever dawn
The sun continued to rise and set
But her love for him remained the same
For he was her one true regret
But his memory kept her love aflame
As the years went by, her hair turned grey
But her love for him never died
For she knew, in her heart, they will meet again one day
On the other side, where love will never hide
And so she spends her days in the field
Surrounded by the wildflowers so sweet
Her love for him, her one true shield
As she watches the sunset's defeat
Their love was a sweet sacrifice
That stood the test of time
For even in death, their love would suffice
As their souls forever intertwine
So let their love be a reminder
Of the power that love can hold
For it can withstand even the greatest divider
And in its purest form, it will forever unfold
Her love was a sweet sacrifice
But it was a love that never died
For in her heart, it will forever suffice
As she waits for him on the other side.
