I Bequeathed To You

All  I  did  is  bequeathed  to  you,
the  most  beautiful  of  all.

You  left  professing  love,
but  you  never  said  good-bye.

You  promised  to  keep  it  safe  from  harm,
I  trusted  you,  and  like  others.
You  lied.

How  do  you  love  me, then  fall
out  of  love with  me  all  in  the  same  night  ?
And  why  did  you  hurt  me ?
What  did  I  do  so  wrong?
I  don't  deserve  this.

I  bestowed  upon  you  my  heart.
All  I  want  from  you,
is  peace  of  mind.
