The Moments I Give

I gave it time,
I gave it space,
Now tell me what,
I am suppose to do.

I don’t understand you,
The moments we shared,
Seems all for nothing,
I see the hatred in your eyes.

Tell me what I am doing wrong,
What I am supposed to do,
Seems as if you hate me,
The moments we shared, 
Seems in the distant past.

I gave it my all,
I gave you my heart,
What is the next step,
Is it walking away,
Maybe so, maybe not.

The moment I knew,
The hatred in your heart,
Was all for me,
What else am suppose to do.

The moments we shared,
Seems for nothing,
The nothingness is getting to me,
 I gave it my all,
Seems like it was for nothing.

The moment I stepped in,
The moment I tried,
All for nothing,
Why try,
Why give it all.

Because I know I can’t give up,
Because I love you with all my heart,
Now tell me the next steps,
Because I am about to give up on you.
