I Gave My Love

I gave my love my courage To help fight all his ills. I gave my love my strength To help shore up his will. I gave my love my heart To keep his pounding strong I gave my love my soul To keep sacred for so long. I gave my love all I could And watched him slip away. I gave my love my own life To keep him one more day. I cannot con a con man A god I could not bribe I did not see a future for me Without you by my side.

I can't imagine such a sacrifice...but then again it requires a clear insight...
