He Took, You Gave, I Lost

By WaryDreamer

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

He took my love from me;   You gave it back. He took my confidence;   You gave it back. He took my courage;   You gave it back He took my pride;   You gave it back. He took my strength;   You gave it back. In one stupid act of idiocy,   I relinquished all you gave me. Now...   I have to find love;   I have to find confidence;   I have to find courage;   I have to find pride;   I have to find strength. But this time,       I have to earn it by myself.   Then,       It will be mine   And       I won't lose it again.               mMarch 1988 Written November 2nd, 2001 © on Nov 02 2001 12:19 PM PST   18 • 0 • 8
