What I Got

Numerous nears and dears I got
So, lots of pains and fears I got.

How shall I thank you for your love?
Say, for the wealth of tears I got.

I shared my secrets with my friends,
But from them only jeers I got.

I must do now what I need to,
And not count on the years I got.

Darts from sharp tongues do make me cry,
Sometimes I curse the ears I got.
