I Gave You My Soul

I gave you my soul

Naked and vulnerable

What was I thinking?

All I wanted was your love

And you crushed me to pieces.

~

Love is what’s sacred

Yet you treat it like folly

And who’s is the victim,

Me…the one you claim to love

The object of your hatred.

~

Maybe I’m the fool

Gullible, the stupid one

Believing in love

Like Shakespeare’s starstruck lovers

And I’m Romeo

  1. True love from other Human Beings is one of the hardest things in the world to find or to hang onto. There is a lot of truth to that old saying, “You only hurt the ones you love.” It seems to work the other way around too … “Only the ones you love end up hurting you.”
