Give them back

Give them back

A Poem by Dave W.
"

You can never get back, the piece of yourself, you have given away.......

"
Give them back 
give them back 

my time 
my words
my heart 
my tears 

give them back 
give them back 

what was nothing to you
was all of me
my sacred treasures
my everything

I think this is beautiful and speaks of profound loss from an investment that didn't work out well. The way you write this touches the reader. But we know that such a loss is irrecoverable. Well, partially, because the time, words and tears have vanished with the wind but the heart can still be salvaged and perhaps fortified to prevent any future losses. A small, simply written yet lasting poem.

true words spoken. always be a miser to give away pieces of yourself, only ones that value them will hold those pieces dearly, the rest might trash it without your notice. like the simple honest takeaway here in this write. thanks for sharing, Dave.

Thank you for the honest and kind review
Yes, I could have written this to a certain person...too late now...I will just accept my losses and move on.
