I give you my way past midnight tears,
My likes and loves, my hopes and fears.
I give you my wildest moans and screams,
and most surreal hopeful dreams.
I give you more than my supply
of smiles to share and drops to cry.
I give you all there is to me:
The flaws and not flaws that you see.
I give you my tortured, broken mind,
perhaps 'twas pretty at first find.
I give you my weaknesses and strengths,
and the loves I swear of unending lengths.
I give you my joys as well as my sorrows,
the reasons why I hope of better tomorrows.
I give you and just you more than what I am.
Should I lose my mind I would not give a ****.
I give you the things that might make me perfect,
and also the mean things my devils reflect.
I give you my brightness and darkness as well,
and all I can give you, more than I can tell.
I give you your needs so that you would stay
and simply be with me each and every day.
I give you my body, my soul, my love,
hoping I'm something you won't dispose of.
I give you my life, freedom, and heart;
and all things I can't say in this way of art.
I give you my past, my present, my future.
Everything for you, my dear paramour.
I give you all it will take to convince,
that you are my love, my master, my prince.
I give you what I hope will be enough,
though I fall apart when times get rough.
I give you everything, my sun and stars:
The old and the new of my heart's battle scars.
This was written 8/20/2015. Minor revisions upon posting. I struggled, because I read the stanzas from bottom to top and I could not decide whether which way was better. I'm just going to stick close to how it was written as an emotional wasteland on my bedroom floor.
