***sacrifice***

Rating: 3.5


God knows that I've fallen in love
Since the day I was born
I've felt that you and I are bound together
When I see you
My heartbeats fast
When I close my eyes
I feel you're with me
Everytime and everywhere I can see you
Such a lovely moment!
My heart is filled so full of love
We're over joyed
Our love is true like a spring
God said,
“True lovers cannot detach from each other”
Yet isn't it strange
That fate has not decided to make us one?
It's time for us to depart from each other
But still you're a God given precious gift!

Love is a sacrifice, yet…
Our love can be expressed without saying a single word
I know I can't belong to you
For you now belong to another
Let us make this sacrifice together
For each others' sake
Tho' it'll shatter our hearts to end our true love
Maybe God
Didnot intend us to be of one soul
We'll bury our love within our hearts
But I still love you
Alas! a wound in my heart
That'll never heal
I promise
You're the only one in my heart till eternity
Oh! God
Reincarnate me as his beloved princess again

Trully, love is a sacrifice. I'm sure a lot of people who sacrificed in the name of love can relate to this. Thanks for this one! God bless!

Your refference to 'God' is 5 times. God IS Love. All are 'Self' and with having 'Love's emotion. Am I requested to critique for your poem's literary value or, reflect on a 'Sacrifice' that Love hath no dealing with. Only the evil of human killing, should so be titled and so termned. My poem, 'As a Rose' here on PH will address my feelings related. Happy Writing, Love will heal the pain that it lacks of.

This is a very beautiful declaration in a poem, uttered by the broken heart, but like Jesus died for us on the cross, you have undergone those same sufferings. A fascinating and brilliant comparison and a sublime title. You have a tender heart and inside, dear poetess. Thank you for sharing this cute declaration of sacrifice. GBU!

Lovely poem, especially the last few lines. As someone has pointed out, a little bit of editing would enhance the beauty of the poem.
