I offered my heart
Handed it to you
Believing it'd be enough
For us to hold fast and true
I offered my love
A sweet and tender embrace
The wind at our backs
Running life's long race
I offered my soul
The very essence of me
I should've seen it coming
The one thing I never wanted to believe
I offered myself
But you took my heart and ran
Despite my efforts
It was over before it began
I gave everything I had
Tore myself apart
It's probably best you're gone
But did you have to take my heart?
Author notes
When it says "I offered myself", it is not implying sex... just to clear it up for dirty-minded people.

LOL, nice author note. Anyway...
This poem was an emotional pull for me because I have written poems similar, I have felt the same way. It is crazy how people like to 'run' with our hearts, esspecially when we so willingly give them everything we have. I guess it is another part of life that we all hate to face but have to. Thank you for entering!
