The Gift
I offered you my hearta precious gift indeed
but you had no capacity
perhaps you had no need
how strange the sound my heart now makes
when I think of you
just a tiny whimper
my gift you did refuse
My love was not enough
to melt your heart so cold
you simply walked away and left
a chasm in my soul
I don't know why you closed the door to me
I'll never understand, but
I will go, my gift I'll keep and
never knock again
On days when there's no sun
your life seems overcast
loneliness your companion
memories from the past
please know my dearest muse
my love for you was true
my heart, my soul, my gift
I offered once to you.
