I gave you everything I had;
My heart, my mind, my body, my soul.
The entirety of my being was yours
And still you wanted more.


My innocence and youth

Were yours for the taking.
I blindly followed where you led
And still you wanted more.


My love became replete in the form of a child

Our first born,
A son,
The physical embodiment
Of all that I had to offer you
And still you wanted more.


Reaching deep within,

Where I had never gone before
Finding the last of my reserves
I offered you a daughter,
A little girl to adore
And still you wanted more.


Empty and depleted,

Running on fumes,
My love lay dying
Where you tossed it on the floor
Because despite how hard I tried,
I had nothing left to give
And still you wanted more.


You already possessed all of me

So how could I possibly give you more…
