martyr
I swore off love the moment you told me you were in love with her instead.
But it's impossible to swear off of something you contain so much of.
I give and give and give.
And even when I am done with the giving, I find something else.
I'll search through my veins and rummage in the depths of my lungs.
I am nothing short of selfish, except when I find someone who needs air more than myself.
And then, I'll breathe for them.
If you considered me a saint before, look at me as a martyr now.
