I Gave It to You

 

 

You asked me to see you,

So I spent time with you.

 

You asked me to hold your hand,

So I held it.

 

You asked me to hug you,

So I gave you a hug.

 

You asked me to kiss you,

So we made out.

 

You asked me to make love to you,

So I surrendered myself.

 

You asked me to give you my all,

So I gave you my possessions.

 

I asked you to call me,

The phone never rang,

 

I asked you to be there,

You never showed.

 

I asked you to pick me up,

I had to call a taxi.

 

I asked you to be honest,

You feed me lies.

 

Used.

Abused.

Worthless.

Broken

 

I gave you my world, and you returned the pieces.

The title it what drew me into this piece and your writing is what kept my interest. I really like how you take us on the journey of this experience and how though you are writing from your own point of view, you've written this so that others who have also experienced this same thing (or not) can feel part of what you've written here. Sometimes we give too much and too freely and the feelings you describe after realizing that this person wasn't worthy of you were strong, angry and in your face. There is a real strength from this write and also some anger and raw rage. You express yourself quite well without going over the top or overshadowing your poetry.
