I Gave It To You Poem by Lesa MRK

I Gave It To You



I gave you my love
I gave you my heart
You threw it back in my face
And tore my soul apart

I gave you myself
And promises so true
I doubt now that you love me
The way that I love you

I gave you my understanding
The feelings I couldn't hide
I thought you were special
You touched me deep inside

If you were to confront me
I'd try to be strong
You won't see the pain
Of what you have done wrong

I gave you my world
Tried to make you see
If you would only try
You could belong to me

I gave you my soul
I thought your heart was gold
It's hard to believe them true
Those things I've been told

I gave you my tenderness
I gave you my tears
Now it's all lost in time
In this place where nobody hears

I thought it would make you happy
That someone was here for you
If you cannot love me,
There is nothing I can do.

I can't understand it
You've shown me a face I didn't know
You're not the man I knew
When my love first began to grow

What made you change?
Is reality just too hard to face?
I think you really care
In your eyes I see a trace

I only know I gave you
Everything I had
I gave you all my love
And in return you made me sad

I can give you
Everything you need
But if you refuse to take it
My love shall pay no heed

I remember tenderness
Written in the depths of your eyes
Have you lost your glow?
Were you intentions only lies?

Your smile belonged to me
Your heart was matched to mine
I gave you my gift
In a Valentine.

If only you'd remember
It was not so long ago
We gave each other a gift
The others do not know...

Very sad. People take but do not give. Passion seems to be a onesided spectacle that hurts the giver.
