All of Me

I gave you all of me, but it's still not enough
You weren't worth half of me, I Gave too much
You broke my heart and destroyed my trust
I gave you all of me and it still wasn't enough

You know how hard I find it to open up
I come from Pain, heartbreak and broken trust
I found the strength, to Lower my guard for you
Now once again I'm closing up, I should have never gave my heart to you

You took advantage of my good nature
I tried to create the perfect night for you, but you were cheating with him
Nightmares keeping me up, with the vision of you sleeping with him
I could call you names, but I'm grown and I know you did me a favour

Sorry isn't enough, I don't want to hear it
You broke what we had, and you will never be able to repair it
I've struggled to trust girls since, as this has been weighing on me heavy
I should have wrote this when I was 18 and you broke my heart, but I wasn't ready

I gave you all of me and it wasn't enough
Now when I meet girls I struggle to give them half of me
I'm closed up, and won't tell them about the scars on me
You weren't worth half of me, I gave you far too much

Elizabeth Kinch April 28, 2017 at 11:18 AM Alex what a powerful, emotive write. Sometimes love is just not equal and it hurts when all that's been given is betrayed. Portrayed so well in this write, #7 Alex Duffy April 29, 2017 at 3:51 PM Thank you, yeah sometimes people take advantage or don't appreciate all the love/affection someone shows, it hurts us all and we have to talk about it, but it'll only make us better people for who we end up settling down with :)
