I gave you my heart
I gave you the power
To take me to the heights
To paint my life
To make me surrender
To begin and end
My day with you
To occupy every
Nook and corner of my being
To make my heart
Beat for you
To sing and dance for
The silent melodies
To think for you
To wait for you....
I gave you my heart
I gave you the power
....to hurt too.

Thank you so much. It is lovely.
DeleteLove sometimes can hurt so badly, yet we can't help ourselves. We give our hearts away knowing that the pain will come. This is beautiful and so so true.
ReplyDeletePain is the part of this process and journey.
DeleteI ponder this quite often, how opening up and becoming vulnerable to that other person completely changes us and how we perceive the whole world. There's a beautiful quote that I posted not long ago on my FB wall:
ReplyDelete"It is a risk to love. What if it doesn't work out? But oh, what if it does?" - Peter McWilliams
I love the possibilities that thought represents! :)
- Dawn
Thanks Dawn...wonderful quote.
DeleteSadly, when we open up to allow love in, sometimes it hurts us but the pain also teaches us too but, if you've never loved you've yet to live (I believe)
ReplyDeleteLovely, sad, true.
Thanks.
DeleteHello, you have written an incredibly poignant poem.
ReplyDeleteThe cadence is subtle as a spring lake.
Thanks Paige.
DeleteYour words are soooo moving!

DeleteYour writing is so inspiring, true deep feelings of love, and all the things that follow giving your heart away....so very nice, thanks. Karen
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen.
DeleteLove worth the risk...beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks ayala
DeleteThis is so true and just sings to my heart!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Deleteoh so true, but life would be so shallow without giving one's heart.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully crafted poem:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful and meaningful piece. WE have the power!! ( and we know how to use it!!))
ReplyDeleteIt's so true. We do give away our power, but I also think that in so doing we become more powerful!
ReplyDeleteWow. What a poignant and powerful poem for the letter "P".
ReplyDeleteSometimes being vulnerable makes us able to love more deeply.
Thanks for sharing this.
