Write a poem on the theme of sacrifices.
Sacrifice
Maybe I sacrifice my time for you.
I don’t care how long I must wait for your message.
I don’t care how long I must wait to talk to you.
I don’t care if it messes me up.
Maybe I’ll sacrifice all my tears –
happy ones or those born from true pain.
When my tears fill a sea,
I’ll swim through it just to get closer to you.
Maybe I’ll sacrifice my love,
because it’s the only thing I truly feel for you.
I don’t care how heavy it is,
even if it breaks my shoulders.
I’ll pour out every piece of feeling
I’ve ever kept in the corners of my heart.
Maybe I don’t care how much I have to sacrifice.
Because I will, in fact, sacrifice everything
if it brings me closer to you.
Closer to a whole, unbreakable “us” –
me and you,
somewhere in the middle of the world.
And I don’t care if it means I have to drown in that sea –
if I can drown with you,
I’ll drown forever,
just to be with you.
