So Gentle

By finnmentality

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

It was the gentleness, that did it,in the end.Maybe it always will.If you had forcefully taken,what was to be freely given,I might have been able to say no,in the end.But you came to me quietly,begging, pleading,asking so nicely, and so,I gave freely, without reservation.And you took it, and made me feel special,As if I was the world forgiving this to you.It's gone now, Whatever I gave,I don't know what it was,But I feel empty now.You have it, because it was freely given,not forcefully taken,like all the others.No, You have something that I gave away.27.07.97, Written November 28th, 2001 © on Nov 28 2001 06:43 AM PST   0 • 1
