Re-gift

by jw-poetry

A gift bestowed me kindness The warmth of your thought my crown But came with it one deviant voice Whom if I spoke would let you down The small voice belonged a girl Who might long-ago have said thank you For the very same small gift she went Onto forget and break through And I do feel so unkind For thinking things, questioning why When I know you only shared it 'Cause it's now me who makes you shine. ... (There is a conflict in my head Between my waking and half-dead, Where I judge my deemed importance As menial, in your head) To myself I know it's preposterous. But at times I'm wont to think this way. If you save that bit of love that you made another girl Should I feel special or dishonored, Or ungrateful, for asking I am a hypocrite, when I say Nothing on earth should go to waste When I do secretly wonder Why you kept the old remains of things for someone who was not worth it And give them to me, if I'm so special? Am I not special enough to earn something I inspired you to love? Or have I just the trust and merit to guard keepsakes others sewn and snagged you from? Please do not take this to mean that it is undervalued, I really do love it so much. I'm just bitter hands besides ours have wrapped around your heart Despite knowing that the both of us have contributed that part It's a truth of life I must respect, as I too, had past remains I was just lucky enough, that those I'd shared with, were good and kept them safe.
