What you allow will continue.


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

 


The author's comments:

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.
