I gave you everything


I gave you everything,

You gave me nothing!

You took my heart,

You took my mind,

But, you also took

My life!

Before you,

I was empty,

Loneliness, my only friend.

Searching for happiness,

My hobby.

Endlessly skimming the internet,

My distraction.

Wanting to escape this pain,

Just a foolish hope!.

But then, you came!

You took my heart

You took my mind,

But, you also took

My life!

Smiling no longer was just a definition

joy, no longer a fantasy.

YOU! became my reality!

Until... you weren't no more.

I gave you my heart,

I gave you my mind,

But, I also gave you

My life!!

And what did you do?

You pretended to appreciate it!

to savor it.

But behind the scenes,

You were smashing itt.

Pulverizing it beneath your foot

Grinding it into the dirt

I Love You,

Your Empty words.

And in the end,

You gave me nothing!

I gave you my heart,

I gave you my mind,

But, also my life.

And now?

I am nothing!
