A poem speaking of what I would do for a certain person.
Sacrifice

Let’s break down these walls that separate our cautiousness
I want us to be far away and beyond our boundaries
In the far to reach catacombs of my mind I am all but thoughtless
I will make you feel things not even to be revealed to secret diaries

So now I ask myself if I still breathe
Only revealing my constant needs
Pull from your conscious and bear your innocence
It’s more easy than would be thought to find deliverance

What would normally take years to discover
Has all been revealed in your smile
There’s not much left to recover
We will push our limits to the farthest mile

Will we ever feel this genuine again
You put color into my black and white lifestyle
Bring light to the balance between our sinking sands
Nothing can compare to our combined guile

Far from hurt and miles between
We will sacrifice only what hurts us
When time comes of our giving will be redeemed
I will do all but betray your trust

If I ask these proverbial questions
Would they care about the answers
Living life and learning lessons
You’re spreading through my soul like a cancer

Let’s take a trip to eternity and far beyond
Will you be there waiting for me
You turn my swaying sea into a calm pond
Relaying thoughts that just couldn’t be

When you are tired I will pick you up
When you are weak I will give you strength
I will motivate you when you are out of luck
For you I will go to great, great lengths

When it gets cold I will give you warmth
When you are overcome I will fight for you
I will fight against your enemies torrents
When you doubt I will always be true

Your eyes see my heart and through my soul
With penetration that could sever the strongest rock
I will pay anything for your emotional toll
And with my heart I will open your spiritual lock


I care much more than you can see
I know you will be there waiting for me
