Tears To Shed

I gave you my tears to shed
in a box tied with my ribbon of dread
I gave you my heart that bleeds red
I signed it with things not to be said
I gave you my soul wrapped in chains
it is covered in dark stains
I gave you my broken smile
it hasnt been fixed in awhile
I gave you my imperfect hug
one that fails to keep you safe and snug 
I gave you my very best
in hopes I dont fail your test
what is this worth to me?
just about everything
