Poem Commentary

This was written about/for my ex-husband. I wrote it when I finally hit the angry point about his treatment of me.

I Gave Myself To You

I am woman I feel everything.
I am hurting and you don't feel my pain.
You choose everything but the one who loves you.
You choose everything but the one who cares.

You say I betrayed you,
And yes that may be true.
But your betrayal baby,
It was more complete.
I gave myself to you,
And then I gave you more.

You say you'll be paying for 4 or more,
You say you can't dream now
I haven't dared to dream in years
And you've sentenced me to a life-term in hell.

You say I betrayed you,
And yes that may be true.
But your betrayal baby,
It was more complete.
I gave myself to you,
And then I gave you more.

I never wanted to love you.
Never wanted to care
But like a thief in the night
You stole my heart.
I gave you my body,
I gave my my mind,
But like a thief in the night,
You stole my heart.

You say I betrayed you,
And yes that might be true.
But your betrayal baby,
It was more complete.
I gave myself to you,
And then I gave you more.

Fantastic. I love the way you described betrayal. It was eloquent and heartbreaking at the same time. Well done.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
