Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I’d give you a body, riddled with marks
from the lashes I’ve taken
for the beliefs I’ve lost faith in.

I’d give you a heart, black and scarred
with the flames I’ve drowned in
time and time again.

I’d give you a soul, empty and apathetic
with the fights I’ve lost so many times
trying to defend myself.

I’d give you a song, harsh and bitter
as the words I’ve been given
over and over.

I’d give my life to see you live
another day, to see you flourish
in the world I failed in.

I’d give anything not to see
you turn away from me
in my time of despair.

I’d give anything for you
to love me, and yet you still
turned me away.

Now I drift without direction or purpose. I existed with no reason or cause- for my life is now meaningless.
