Cost of Sacrifice

Worse days are coming
 I can see it in your stare
 We feel resentment start to settle
 Disintegrating a day at a time
 Foundations crumble
 Before my eyes
 I am a well for you to draw from
 Far past capacity
 Under the surface
 I decay
 Cracks in your frame precede a flood of regret
 Panic twists its shape beneath the surface
 Fear grows in inches
 And shatters me into fragments of a whole
 I can't allow to bloom
 Hands worn raw
 Holding on to hope that things could change
 I'll push you away for your own sake
 Try to find peace in the wreckage
 No trust left in myself
 Cracks in your frame precede a flood of regret
 Panic twists its shape beneath the surface
 Fear grows in inches
 And shatters me into fragments of a whole
 I can't allow to bloom
 The sun will cauterize
 My wounds in time
 Parts of a whole have shattered into jagged and serrated shards
 Cutting me open as I struggle to hold them together
 A thousand incisions will bleed me slow enough
 For me to watch every passing moment of regret in my mind
 Grow into months and years of bitterness
 Though it comes at a price
 I'll find peace when I close my eyes
 In knowing that without me
 You will find a better life
