The Giver and the Taker

by glass*wall*prison   Mar 29, 2006


There once was a man
whos nature was to give
a man that would die
so that you may live

he was a gracious man
always slow to anger
and would come to the rescue
if ever your in danger

one who didnt care for spotlight
and would never take the stage
he always gave to the poor
though he made less than minimunm wage

then one day he met a girl
whos nature was to take
everything she touched
would wither away or break

her family was rich
better off than most
she had everything she wanted
a gift she often boast

there lives crossed one day
and neither were ever the same
he stayd in the shadows
while she took all the fame

he gave her everything
everything that he had
every single emotion so
when they split up he wasnt sad

he gave her his heart
and all it contained
but all of his love
was tragicly in vein

    A good effort, great inspiration and well put together, theres a few spelling mistakes that should be corrected and you've used the wrong 'vain' in the last line. but well done xx

    I love the title and the story behind it was interesting...watch out for the typo on "minimum" and "tragically".....good stuff...

    What a heartfelt poem! =) I also like the story behind this poem. I've noticed that some of your poems have a story behind it but you do a very good job of making sure its still a poem. Great flow and great concept ;)
