I gave you my ears,
To listen to your words.
I gave you my eyes,
To tell you things unheard.
I gave you my mind,
To pick at as you pleased.
I gave you my arms,
To protect you from the world.
I gave you my heart,
To know that you belong.
I gave you my all,
Hidden in this song.
This is what I gave you,
Asking nothing in return.
This is what I gave you,
Before you left me burned.
This is what I gave you,
My beautiful glowing soul.
This is what you gave me,
My soul as black as coal.

Michael. He did this to me - and if I still cared about him just a bit more, I'd be crying right now. As always, beautifully written. You are a master of your art.

this is awesome, I Like it, The form is questionable though, You flow into free verse and then change your ryming theme but still an awesome poem. josh

Thanks for the comment. I am glad my poetry was able to speak to you. Any time a poet is told that their poetry is good or has touched someone it makes them feel a sense of accomplishment and belonging. Thank you.
