How Much Must You Sacrifice
This decision that I'm making makes me want to cry,
I honestly believe it's the biggest and hardest decision of my life,
You sacrifice everything until there's no more left to give,
Watching you die every day, choosing addiction over the will to live,
I beg and plead, and stood by your side, I cannot count how many times,
In and out of facilities, I forcefully pushed you to save your life,
Now you blatantly refuse, you want me to sit back and watch,
I cannot bring myself to watch you drink yourself to death...I love you way too much,
Love is never what it seems sometimes, it means you must walk away,
It means taking the chance that the other person may believe you never loved them anyway,
Which is just the opposite, because it always is..it's appearance is deceiving,
It's a test of faith, do we live for this life? Or do we sacrifice for personal healing?
I've been here before on different levels with different people... it's never the same,
But with each one I gave and gave until I had to walk away
