Sacrifice

Dis-concerning thoughts

Breed dis-concerning lies

Stupid disguise...

Willing to fantasize.

Run from the shadows,

Cry in the dark...

When loneliness surrounds

Was this a trap?

Have they lied to you?

Did they break you down?

Are you forgotten now?

Do wings surround you?

Are the nights less lonely

Knowing I'm still here?

Does it matter at all

How my heart shatters?

No, please don't cry...

I'm whole once more...

And for another time

No pain surrounds

This fearful heart of mine.

If I were to die right now

Would you survive the night,

Knowing I have sacrificed it all

To make your life allright,

To make sure you'e alive?

Would you grant me this,

So I may rest in peace...

If I would die tonight...

Live your life for me.

[Coyote Poetry]

The poem is outstanding. The question of love and need are always appearing in our life. I like the feel of this poem. Last question was very good. The poem was strong and I like the story. A very good poem.
