Sacrifice by Christopher ShinI thought if I tried to
find you in this mixed up
chaotic world you would
draw me out of my own darkness.
Don't you understand
the darkness in my heart
is all that I am?
To take away this part
would only make me
an empty shell.
So you ask me which would
I sacrifice for happiness,
and I sadly point out
that even though your eyes
fill my body with warmth
and your touch causes
my heart to swore in the clouds.
I must say that I can not give
up the misery in my heart.
So your goodbyes and the misery of
missing you adds to the shadows
around me.
As I talk into the mirror
and you question me about
why I do not have the love
of my life. I can simply say
that misery does not love
your company. 04/01/2003 Posted on 04/01/2003 Copyright © 2024 Christopher Shin

Posted by Ashok Sharda on 04/18/04 at 11:26 AM Sacrifice for the sake of sacrifice or is it for a cause which comensates in the form of some kind of recompense? In the absence of any purpose the sacrifice sounds meaningless.The approach a bit negative. |
