My All

by Cara   Nov 18, 2008


I gave you my all, but it wasn't enough
I poured my heart out to you, it was tough
But I wanted you to know everything about me
All my flaws, my past, the things you cannot see

I changed myself into what you asked
I turned into someone I didn't recognize, I was masked
But I did not care, I wanted your love
I was willing to do anything, to be above

To be above all those other contenders
Can't you see? I am better than those pretenders
I can win this game; I can win your heart
I will be by your side, we will never part

But wait, hold up, I am worth more than this
I am a person with feelings, yeah, they do exist
I do not have to cater to your every desire
I can be strong, on my own, I can break higher

I am sick of giving everything and getting nothing in return
All I ask of you is to show a little compassion, some concern
'Coz I tricked myself into believing I could make this work
When in the end, no matter what I do, you're still gonna be a jerk.

I looked after you when you needed a hand
But now it is time that you learnt to stand
On your own two feet instead of mine
'Coz I am over you.

    This is one very confusing !! lvoe or hate or both

    a thin line btw them no one can know for sure, !!

    a word of advice , never totaly change for anyone , who love you , his love will change you , to the better slowly , and you wont even notice !

    you uised a lot of simple wording made the poem great to read , and simple to understand the emotion and the flow is great !

    very good one!!5/5
