Learning that giving away too much of yourself is never a good thing... amazing what you learn in 10 years plus...



Do I sacrifice myself for you
Would that make you happy
What do I give to supplement you
My heart
My happiness
My smile
I’ll give it all to you
If it would make you happy
Tell me what you want from me
People respond better to love and kindness than hurt
Which you do so easily
Here Take my heart
It will make a good snack
Take my happiness
It doesn’t really exist so it’s of no use to me
Take my smile
It’s false anyway (waiting for my face to crack from all this damn smiling)
Don’t force me to bend to your will
Don’t criticize me for innocent mistakes
Love me and mean it
Care for me and show it
Trust in me and follow up on that trust
I came to you
I came through you
Love me don’t hurt me
Give me what I need correctly
And I will sacrifice myself for you
