I Gave You Right Back

I remember when you gave yourself to me, But I gave you right back. Because I couldn’t stop hurting you, And I hated doing that. I can’t be selfish as I wanna be, and much as I need your touch. I can’t have that follow me. Enough just might be enough. But love comes all the way back around, I didn’t know you then and I don’t know you now. Hearts beat, Trust me, I asked mine to stop beating aloud. Tears are dreams, That have to flee, Cause they’d been cast out. And smiles speak, Yours talks to me, But I replied with a frown. Cause I can’t keep this up, Enough is now enough. Don’t look for me I’m gone now.

Hi Alden, touching write this. Sometimes the things we want are the things we must not have. I love the angst that is brought out in the poem. You've captured the emotions very well. Very well penned!
