Marytr of the Heart

The beginning of the end must surely start when you acknowledge your ability to Martyr your heart, the light that once shone so bright beyond doubt begins to falter and fade, it starts burning out, for the person you love whose heart they did give feels the sorrow of holding onto a life they won't live! If your certain within you that your sure you could leave then your lover starts the process of starting to grieve. For there's no other protection or shield to guard from the loss of a lover whose hearts turning hard, if your willing to Marytr to hang yourself out to dry, that's the point where this love is beginning to die! I write you these lines without stopping to think, for the words come out faster than the pen flows it's ink. I have heard what your saying and I know you don't lie, and if your becoming a Marytr then I surely will die. So before we go further down this long lover's lane, I guess what I'm asking is are you willing remain? Don't tell me you'll Martyr your heart without doubt, cause my response is to leave you, before then I'll walk out! This is written in poetry as I struggle to talk, it's my heart opening up as the tapestry taught. I promised to love you through wind and through rain, I never questioned how many days still remained? I beg you sincerely with love through light and dark, don't ever leave me, don't Martyr your heart, there's one thing that I ask you, put this love back on track, and please erase that line from us, please take those words back! I used to hear echoes of your words in my head, of romantic concepts of what you had said, now instead of those love lines what I hear in the dark is " I won't be afraid to Martyr my heart!
