i gave you all my love and now i have nothing left
My true whole self was not enough
I gave you all my love
and now I have nothing left
And now I'm scrounging around
Trying to put
Assholes
In your place
Yours.
He had me going there
For a while
He made me believe
That you were
A one
And He-
The one.
There are no numbers-
Just u.
Time heals all wounds
My ass
Because you keep coming back
Years later
And I-
A mistake of the past-
A summer fling.
I gave you all my love
And now I have nothing left.
I was seen for the first time
And then discarded
Rejected
Replaced
My true
Whole
Self
Was
Not enough.
I gave you all my love
And saved none for myself.
I have nothing left.
And you-
You have everything
The followers
The talent
The adventures
The friends
The wife
The kids
The picket fence
And
I have nothing left.
I gave you all my love
and now I have nothing left.

That I'm dying”
