What I Gave

What I gave… My honesty, my loyalty My love, my heart My word and my time My trust when apart. What I gave... My full attention, my understanding My friendship, my care My support and compassion When no one else was there. What I gave… Everything he desired I always did my best To make sure he was comfortable And never made him stressed. I gave it my all, more that 100 percent to the one whose life, I thought I made content When I gave I expected nothing back But his loyalty and love in return I expect no extravagance But a flame that will eternally burn. When you find that special someone Your world changes around You give him wholeheartedly As you believe a soul mate you have found But in the end what I got Was the complete opposite of what I gave. I was left out in the cold alone, A dreadful storm I had to brave. What I got... Insincerity and distrust, Betrayal and deceit Bitterness, empty promises, And a heartless scheming cheat What I got.. A shattered heart, sleepless nights and a river of endless tears. Unsaid words which hurt the most, And a soul left broken into pieces... CONTEST: WHAT I GAVE ..
