The Sacrifice

The biggest sacrfice one can give is to let a love one go. To be able to say goodbye to that person you destroy by your presence. Leaving you up in the middle of the night whispering their name. Knowing that they will never come. Living with a shattered self to protect them. Protecting them against you. Cause your bad news. It's been this way since birth. It's not a bad habit of destruction you carry. No, it's who you are. You want to embrace it. Yet, you can't. You lost the one person who did see that one sliver of good in you. It gave you purpose being with them. Now you have to turn back to the world before you knew them. Yet, it is different. They forever impacted you. Without the warmth they poured on to you, you grow cold in the dark. Waithing for a new light.
