Knowing/Happy Burden

what do you think?

As she asks, I die a little, I cannot help, yet I will not refuse, And so I help my love, to love another. I betray myself for you, so that you may be happy, For that is how I am and that is how I feel. And though I bleed and cry inside, I help you, As my love demands of me, I help you. And at the end when in my shame of sorrow, You look into my sad eyes and smile, I know, I am happy.

Interesting thought. I'm trying to put it into a context. Maybe she doesn't know that he (the writer) loves her, so his unselfishness wouldn't even be recognised.
