A poem about having to let go of those who will only hurt you. I hope you all like it! Let me know what you think.

Here’s my soul, my body, my mind

I give it all to you

Just so you’ll leave them behind

I’ll take away your dark skies

I’ll give you color because you’re black and white

Do I not deserve more?

Is this the only way I can define love?

I give it all to you

And what for?

 

I’ll fall for it again

I’ll fall into the trap

I’ll choose to see It for what it’s not

So it’s closer to what I never had

The train goes by

Leaves me behind

I give it all to you

And what for?

 

I’ll wait for days, weeks, years

Because it’s never over for me

I just want to know what it could be

So I can wake up to reality

And say I knew it all along

You’ll leave me behind

Because god knows I’ll never be the one

I give it all to you

And what for?

 

Please tell me what for

Please tell me where I went wrong

I know I am the one who causes the wreck

I see the storm coming, I see the signs

And still I’ll stay because I hold on

I hold on to what this looked like from the outside

And now I want out, you’ll ask where you went wrong

You gave it all to me

And what for?

 

I’ll continue to laugh along, to act as if

This isn’t hurting, like this wasn’t a story without an ending

It was a book with blank pages, but I know I’ve read it before

Somewhere in the past, this looks too familiar

It’s unsettling, it makes me uneasy

And I’ve seen myself crash and burn

Not again, although it would be easy

You could destroy me

I gave it all to you

You gave it all to me

What a waste

 

 Maybe you’ll stop me, try to say goodbye

I don’t think you know what’s coming

I’ll burn down the house we built

But the remains will stick to me for all of time

What will it mean to you? What could it mean

Love can only be so strong, can only change so much

And I had so much love to give, I need to learn to save it

For the right ones

 

Scared, I know I could be next

All the emotions attached, I put to rest

I can’t be a replacement, or a saint

I didn’t see it coming, I must leave before being left

Wishing I could be more to you, wishing this was enough

Leaves fall from the trees, cold winds blow them away

It started when the sun still shined

And it’ll end as the sun hides

I gave it all to you

What a waste of time

 

I hope you wake up one day

And you’re happier, and more full of life

I hope you remember the best times, and not the bad

I don’t know what to say, I know it won’t come out right

And maybe I’ll become another one on your list

Another one of your strangers, and you’ll forget easily

Just know you’ll never be that to me

I gave all I could to you

At one time, it was everything

You are an intelligent person with a huge heart. Too bad that some dont get or appreciate that.
