Suffocation For Her Sake

When I finally realized
That she only gave her hand
As a request for friendship

That was when I made up
my mind
And decided
Not to do anything at all

Because whatever I may do
It'll wound either of us

Victory creates happiness on both sides
Loss can inflict pain to yourself,
if not to her conscience too

As I really cared,
I lost by my own hand
In order to save her conscience

That decision
equals suffocation

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
