Array ( [sid] => 19442 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => I Gave It All To You [time] => 2003-06-22 16:05:00 [hometext] => This is for the man whose name I carry, since he refuses to give me a divorce. Enough said. [bodytext] => Here we are
Truly worlds apart
Still you try to hold my heart
As if I owe you this
Somewhere in time
I laid my life on the line
For you without reason or rhyme
You left me like this

To walk alone in steps I am unsure of
To crawl through this place forever without love
Because I gave it all to you
And now I’m empty
No tenderness dwells in me
Nobody else can reach my soul
It is out of my control
Because I gave it all to you.

I begged you to turn your life around
You saw me crumble and let me lie down
At your feet, weak and beaten
And you – never found the words to say
Even after I turned away
You’d still rather break me then lose
Can’t you see – You left me like this

To walk alone in steps I am unsure of
To crawl through this place without love
Because I gave it all to you
And now I’m empty
No tenderness dwells in me
Nobody else can reach my soul
It is out of my control
Because I gave it all to you.

I Gave It All To You

What a beautiful poem! I can relate to this, are you sure you didn't write it for me? Kidding. Seriously though, I'm not sure I'll ever be the same again after what I've gone through with my wife these past 5 months.
Great write!

What a sad beautiful poem...to let someone have that much control over you hurts like hell, and someday it will pass and love will find its way in again...hope things brighten for you soon..
