The Sacrifice

The time you’ve spent away from me.

Not responding.

Making excuses.

Not making time for me.

Is the time I’ve spent,

Wondering if you’re actually busy.

Wondering if you actually want this.

Wondering about when I might run into one of my exes.

Thinking about her.

Thinking about you and I and whether I should split us apart.

I’ve made time for us,

Repeatedly.

Tired, wanting sleep, and all.

I did.

Maybe we’re just too different...

Maybe I’m just sacrificial...

Sacrificing my time for you...

Sacrificing my heart for you...

Sacrificing my feelings and emotions but at the expense of it not being reciprocated back...

And with that,

I’ll leave you with or without my heart in tact.
