The Very Essence
The less I had, the more I loved
The more I had to cling to those around me
And, I sang soulfully
And, drank completely of the love I was given
And, knew of nothing greater than the hearts surrounding me
But, the more I gained, the less I gave
The less I appreciated those who were around me
And, I sank willfully
And, thanked few for the love I was given
And, thought of nothing more often than my own heart's fulfilling
So, it is with a broken heart
And, the forsaking that part of me
I take the consequence with the responsibility
Of rediscovering the emptier me
Capable of reciprocating what's given to me
And, able to appreciate love
And, able to return it fully
By giving the very essence of me
