At times I wonder why do I think
Another will complete me
Giving up my wants to fulfill
Someone else’s needs
Constantly giving, never receiving
Gave of me so often
My shadow is missing
As my tears glisten
Filling a lake called regret
Every time I find the strength to leave
Something whispers: No Not Yet
As I go backward in my forward steps
Rewinding back to a chapter
I’m supposed to have left
I ask myself why am I still here
Loneliness stares back at me
Reminding me of once my biggest fear
Now my sorrow has loneliness scared
For it is nothing in comparison
To what happens when
You give to have nothing left
I ran away from loneliness
To come back to the place
In which I’ve fled
DAMN! This was a really good read and applies to me in so many ways!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You captured the feeling of giving your all to one who doesn't even deserve it. You muster up courage to let go and then, you go right back. Hence the title: Full Circle. Very nice write.
