They've taken you away from me.
They've taken from me the only thing that's made my life worth living.
And, while I know that it's for the best,
My heart can't bear to let you go.

I hate them.
I want them to give you back to me.
They've had you for long enough now,
and in that time, they took your heart and broke it.
I was just starting to help you put it back together,
Just like you were starting to help me with mine.

They must have known.
They must have known that you were in love again,
They must have seen your smile, how it lit up a room
They must have seen that glow that I know followed you wherever you went
I know that they saw it in me here.

And that was too much for them,
It was too much for them to see that you were happy.

And so, they took you back.
Took you back to that place where they could manipulate you
and make you feel terrible.
They knew what to do, what buttons to push,
And all you could do was just let them,
Because you couldn't tell them that you were finally happy,
For that would have just made it worse for you.

So, you did the one thing that you knew how to do.
For me.
For me, you gave up that happiness.
You let me go, and turned to face them, head on.
I begged you not to, I begged you to let me help you
But you said that you had to do this on your own,
That you wanted, yes, that you needed, to do this
And that while you were sorry, that you loved me.
You loved me, and wanted to be with me,
But, right now, you had to do this.
You had to do this, for yourself, for us.
For our love.

But,
It still doesn’t take the hurt away.
And it still doesn’t make my heart stop hurting for you.
It doesn't make me stop loving you.
But,
It makes me love you even more
That you would do this.

For me.

For you, for your life.

For our life.

For our love.

The ultimate sacrifice, giving up your own happiness for another. You have portrayed it well here, PV. Great write.

From anger to acceptance and patience it seems. A difficult path to make your way on. I enjoyed this as you portrayed your feelings well.
