8th Grade Poems, To and From

Sacrifice for Love-Bella

With love comes the burden of all your pain

You both pour into the glass and hope it will remain

But if it's broken or unevenly strained

Then I am afraid you have met its end

With love comes the sacrifice of your secrets

You cannot keep them despite what you wish

They must be equally given, so go on and give

But if it doesn't work, don't be afraid to call it quits

Don't end up in a situation with no hope

Where you are the only one climbing the slope

Because then it's just you

And it's difficult to carry two while trying to cope.
