Sacrifice

Sacrifice


My love has no edges					
	it is like a great ripe fruit,

both, sustaining and life giving 


Your love is a sword
	its' hilt as a cross

both, protective but life taking.	


As you cuts me in half
	sucking the juice I provide

in willing sacrifice
         To sustain you

Love is "sustaining, life giving and it sometimes does require a sacrifice." Well penned, John.
