Sacrifice
June 24th, 2006
Why is tonight so different? Why did my tears run dry?
One week ago we were talking how you need to change
Now you seek a new path & ways to straighten up your life
I feel that could be the end of it or as one of us will die
You know our love is in jeopardy
Yet, again I need to make a sacrifice
I embrace myself in silence
And then I try to give you advice
You speak of ethics, family & religion
You speak. And in so much pain I just listen
I hear my conscious calling
But my poor heart is to pay the price
You speak of a wakeup call & how God kept you alive
Then you ask me to pray & to follow the light
How can I pray to whom is to take you from my side?
What light am I to follow as after you leave I’ll go blind?
You wish we could be just friends; you & I
You wish… but how to myself can I lie?
How can I be just friends to whom I lust & desire?
How can I be friends when my heart is set on fire?
Oh I wish you the best, but for me my best has just left
And all what remained is your empty pillow I hug & wet
Go ahead with your life but don’t look back
I’ll keep an eye on you for the other will just cry
Oh my God forgive her, you I beg
I may not; I’ll continue to love her instead
Take her to heaven once she dies, but in my turn
Just let me have a look into her eyes
That would be worth it, no regrets
Another sacrifice, yet one more sin
Then take me to my fate that is I know
As of tonight I’m in eternal hell..!
