OVERWATERED YOU

you say it was never there with eyes wide 

awake.

your eyes farlorn as you say that i wasn't hope enough and you're gone, vanished in puffs of smoke and memories.

you said so much, and i said so much, but you never talked to me and now i sit here wondering that in all that meaningless chatter was there something? 

some idea? 

some meaning? 

some clue? 

something? 

anything? 

I offered you pieces of my soul, without a second thought, as if i was sure you would give them back and when you still needed more, i dug a little deeper, pulled out my heart like a weed and planted it carefully in your hands. But, sometimes giving everything means nothing to the person who means everything to you. 

And when i gave you everything, i was left with nothing.
