I gave my all to a person even with an exhausted soul.
Time after time, I made myself an afterthought for the sake
of his heart. Unfortunate events proved that he did not have
the heart to do the same.  I freely gave myself to a man that
confused true love with lust. My selflessness entwined with his
selfishness, and my love slowly became suppressed from being
mistreated. With this, I know the importance of giving less love
to a loveless being. They are not aware of what they have when
their pride is what they live for.

Original -
To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,      
One clover, and a bee.
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few.




I was born on the prairies (go ahead.. you know you want to say it) Grande Prairie.  I have lived in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba and with bees,... dropping like flies I thought this was appropriate.
