Sacrifice
I reached for you so many times,
calling out your name
Rotting inside and out, and there's only you to blame
You never answered me, only laughed around my corpse
I never thought that this right here
Would leave me at my worse
You wanted a hug,
so I wrapped my arms around you
You asked for some help,
so I guided you until the end
You needed someone to be there,
so I became the best friend
You asked for a better grade,
so I fessed up all my answers
You wanted someone to hold,
so I gave up my body
You wanted someone to kiss,
so I gave you my lips
I asked you for help,
so you turned the other shoulder
I begged for you to listen,
so you left me in the night
So when you wanted me to love you
I was gone and out of sight
You asked and begged for someone to be with,
so I gave you my all
Someone to love me when I was sad,
someone to catch me when I fall
I gave up all I was,
and now I am nothing
When you were cold and in a dark place
Pleading for my love and desires
I saw that you needed a light,
so I set myself on fire

When reading this, I hope people get the message that we all make sacrifices for those we care about in our lives, and while they may see it as a small favor, you view it as much more than that. As if you are giving up a piece of yourself to assure their happiness in life.
