Give all, Get Nothing

By Isz

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

To have given up all you know To have given up everything for just one And to know that you still will never be happy Searching for something you know But yet it is not possible to find To get to the point where only one person knows Knows what makes you happy and yet That person will never decide to make you happy Because you have given up all for them You have nothing to give to anyone else To love one that you can never have And to lose the choice to love another The touchier that they put you through To be teased and always let you feel the pain Knowing that you can never let yourself let them down And that you have sworn to be there for them till the end of time These bad mistakes I have made Shall hunt me till the end of my days Doom to love one I can not have And cursed not to love any other Written December 20th, 2001 © on Dec 20 2001 11:03 AM PST   0 • 1
