Sacrificing Love

a whispered sigh

A bitter truth, a whispered sigh,

Love's sacrifice, beneath a tearful sky.

Not flames extinguished, nor passion grown cold,

But choices made, a story yet untold.

Two souls entwined, a tapestry so bright,

Woven with laughter, bathed in love's warm light.

Dreams whispered close, futures hand in hand,

A love so perfect, a vow upon the sand.

But fate, a fickle mistress, twists the thread,

A cruel hand dealt, a future left unsaid.

Duty calls, a path that diverges wide,

Love's fragile bloom, with nowhere left to hide.

Sacrifice's Sting, a Love Held at Bay

Perhaps a distance, oceans vast and deep,

Leaving hearts yearning, promises hard to keep.

Or mountains rise, a barrier unforeseen,

Love's whispered echoes, lost in what has been.

Perhaps a calling, a purpose that demands,

A selfless sacrifice, for a greater good at hand.

A dream pursued, a burden one must bear,

Leaving love behind, a weight too heavy to share.

The Glimmering Hope, a Love that Endures

But sacrifice, not always a final blow,

A chance for growth, a love that helps you grow.

Supporting dreams, with a love that understands,

Letting go of hands, yet forever close at hand.

A silent love, a silent, stoic plea,

Letting them fly free, for the person they'll be.

Knowing in their hearts, a love that will remain,

A flickering ember, through sunshine and through rain.

A Promise Whispered in the Wind

Perhaps one day, paths may cross once more,

Underneath a sky, on a distant shore.

Worn by time, yet love's embers still glow,

A chance to rekindle, a love story to grow.

But even if separate, their lives forever bound,

By memories cherished, on a love that's profound.

For sacrifice, though painful, a love that sets them free,

A bittersweet symphony, for eternity.

The Unseen Thread, a Love that Persists

Love's sacrifice, a strength that few possess,

A silent act of love, a silent, selfless bless.

For in letting go, a love can truly soar,

Leaving an imprint, forevermore.

Though unseen threads, their fates may intertwine,

In dreams unspoken, and memories that shine.

A love that sacrifices, a love that dares to give,

The greatest gift of all, for another soul to live.

So let the tears fall, for a love held at bay,

But know that sacrifice, paves a brighter way.

For love's essence lingers, on whispers of the breeze,

A love that sacrifices, forever brings you peace.
