More Then I Could Give Poem by Ray Hansell

I know that you deserved
More then I could give
But you took what I offered
Not once did you ever complain

A part time love can wear you down
Not physically but mentally
You wanted more then you were getting
You wanted more then I could give

You accepted the situation
You handled yourself so well
When we were together it was nice
But I know you lived in hell

You wanted a man full time
Not what I was giving you
So yesterday you said goodbye
There was nothing else you could do
