Shell

Like the ring I wear my world revolves around you.

I have given you my heart, my love, my devotion.

Where do I stand?

I stand alone.

Desperately looking for comfort from the storm.

I gave you everything I had to give.

Now there is nothing left but the shell of who I’ve become.

Are you happy now?

Are you happy?

i am surprised so many great thoughts ,you tell him are you satisfied now i gave you everything ,nothing is left of me ,nothing but an empty shell,and i look for a shelter from the storm for i have given you everything nothing to defend me no more,are you happy now ,oh you so sweetly depict yourself as the ever giving it all to your love,not expecting anything in return ,very strange here,little will do that they will think you are a fool a dreamer ,but you are not ,you are so human to the brim ,and i like humans and dreamers and fools as they call them ,come dear lets dream away together,lets tell the world we differ a lot a lot ,and i know ,i know

one always has to be careful to hold onto themselves and not relinquish everything to another. Love doesn't mean becoming a shadow of the person you love; but that you expand and improve each other's essence and soul. This does happen frequently to us all; and we do feel like an empty shell sometimes when relationships end - and we are left with only our memories and ourselves.

Very well written; deeply emotional.
I feel the anger, rage, saddness, confusion.
A Job Well Done!

Sad poem. I have felt like that, having given so much and then lost myself in the process.

Well written, evoking strong emotions.

Good imagery.
