Sacrifice

I've always been a fairly good about being a giving person, especially to those I feel a connection to. Still, many, including my ex-girlfriend seem to think I'm piling up credit or a tab.

The sacrifice I make for you

Not intended as a debt

But rather for your benefit

Something hoping not to forget

Wanting to bring you joy

At sacrifice of tool or toy

Your issue far more important

Grand scheme of things, absent scheming

Hoping only the best your you

And your own part of you too

A bit less for me in the physical sense

Might bring you some happiness

Absent any payback or favor on return

I don't feel you need that held against you

Seeing how your situation has been

How could one sit and say "oh well"

Not this man, not a martyr or saint

Just trying to make things right
