Everything.
That's what I gave to you.
You did with me what you do with everything.
You took me and used me until it seemed that I was spent.
Then you turned around and sold me for less than I'm worth
so that you could cover the fucking rent.

ooooch....sounds like the beginning of a song with an awesome beat that you don't really get until the third time when you actually hear the words...or a rant in poetry slam, getting it out, finding your way back up...
Thanks for the entry in my contest!

I liked this, it is full emotion and I can really imagine these words being spoken to someone. I loved the two opening lines, simple and yet with the rest of the poem it easily conveys bitterness and the hurt. Great work and a really nice take on the prompt x

I loved the raw feeling of it -
