Sacrificial Heart

Little pieces

Of yourself

You give

No way to live

Sackcloth and ashes

The perfect match is

You and the guilt

The heart that bleeds

Too quick to concede

To all of his whims

The part that feeds

Your ascetic needs

Begins to question him

Is this a sacrificial rite

Is this the malediction

I feared in the vigils of my life

Is this a sacrificial...

Altruistic

Self-inflicted

Wounds to the heart

Unrealistic

Self-addicting

Love is the drug

The martyr swears

The altar's bare

Save for her soul

She barters care

For just a share of some

Affection can't be sold

Is this a sacrificial rite

Is this the malediction

I feared in the vigils of my life

Is this a sacrificial...

Don't sacrifice your love, your life

Don't sacrifice your love, your life
