Sacrifice Poem by Michelle Tolly

What have I become?
Is the answer scum?
Is the answer relevant to the question?

Why must I feel so outspoken?
Why must I feel like I have to sacrifice to be with you?
Why must I feel this way?

You have become the apple of my life.
You are the core in my heart.
Making me crave you.

How dominant are you?
Why must you be a tyrant?
Why must I love you?

Why can’t I be strong?
How can I hate you but love you so?
Why must you enter my very soul?

Thou are not worthy.
Thou cannot care.
Why must thou love and need you?

My heart thumps with your every word.
Your dark love is so seductive.
Why must I be propelled by our romance?

Do you love me?
Do you understand me?
Would you be my sacrifice?

I sacrifice everything and everyone to be with you.
What have you done for me?
What can you give me in return?

Will you love me till death do us part?
Would you be mine?
Would your love be for me alone?
