give & take

gray0328

 

he says love  

is a scale,  

a delicate balance—  

so, i tilt it.  

 

he says sacrifice  

is the cost,  

a necessary payment—  

so, i pay it.  

 

he says happiness  

is a choice,  

a conscious decision—  

so, i fake it.  

 

but never once  

does he say  

what love takes  

from the giver.  

 

never once.
