Self Sacrifice



How can I offer you
what you need
if what you need
isn't from me?

I am helpless
failing
falling
and you watch
observing
silent
motionless
as I slit my wrist.

Pain
it is unbearable
but I carry on
wanting
hoping
wishing
because
I
love
you.

sad but very passionate : sort of a high emotional pitch that shows the importance of the love itself in contrast to the pain... very cool! love it...

This is a very emotional write Jasmine, so painful in its message. Love lost at times can be so unbearable we might try anything not to feel that hurt. Good write my friend.

I really liked this poem. I like how you structured it. It gives off a lot of emotion and feeling without using long sentences or fancy words. Great poem :)

Jasmine,
What a powerful write..Brilliant display of confusion... Sometimes it is so hard when we want to give and seems at that particular time we can not.. Bravo
Thank you for sharing this write..

So sad, Jasmine! Somehow we make it through the unbearable loss. And I know how hard it is when you love someone and they don't love you. Wonderful write of expression, Jasmine.

Veeeeery good, I am having the same feelings as we speak in a relationship. How can you give everything when he/she wants nothing from you but to be a friend and call when she needs me? Don't have the answer but very beautiful.
