Priorities
I can’t give up who I am and what I want to do
for you.
I won’t give up who I am and what I want to do
only because I selfishly want you too.
You made a sacrifice without prompting
without my input,
assuming sacrifice was required at all,
assuming you couldn't have
yourself, your calling, and us.
Your sacrifice is not my fault,
your choice is not my choice.
My sacrifice is not your fault,
my sacrifice is not your choice.
You are my sacrifice
because I cannot give up what you did
for us,
for myself.
Love is not the only thing that matters,
and this love is asking too much.
Our ending is painful,
but giving up who I am and what I want to do
would be insufferable.
