The Tide of Sacrificial Love
I feel a tight rope around my back
Whenever I move, it's like the grip gets tighter
I'm not the person I expected myself to be
It makes me more miserable
That I am not a fighter
I struggle against the wave of my heart
I used to feel special
But now I'm just falling apart
No matter what I do, nothing is ever truly correct
It makes me anxious
And even more upset
But there's going to be light eventually
I see it, or is that just a mirage?
Whatever the consequences
I wish to imagine it's us
Standing side by side against the pressure of the world
While I hold the tide back
You continue to run, not minding my sacrifice
And ignore me if you will
But soon it will not give into your lack
As I shall die with the tide
My hair in the wind of the winter breeze
While you hold onto summer and pray for my leave
