All I Have to Give

by The Angel of Secrets   Jan 7, 2008


I am not strong, nor noble or wise,
I am not the sun behind the dark skies.
I am not a great fighter in this life,
I'm not a great girlfriend or make a great wife.

I don't look at the past as a ghost,
I look for tomorrow beyond the distant coast.
I don't make sense when I wonder by my self,
I don't need anything, I can manage life itself.

I'm a train wreck when I wake up,
I can drink vanilla sauce out of a cup.
I am a complicated wreck of randomness,
I'm not here to surprise, not here to impress.

My sentences come out as writing,
I'll walk away if you start fighting.
I'm closed, and it's hard to crack my shell,
I won't tell you about my past, all the times I fell.

I want you to love me for what I am,
Understand when I'm in a personal jam.
When I need to be alone, let me be,
When I want you to, you'll see.

I can never give you all of my heart,
It will break into pieces and fall apart.
You will never understand me, and I'll never get you,
But of the few things I can give, they will be true.

I can give you my love, I'll try my very best,
You can keep all the things you now possess.
I can give you pieces of my heart, if you dare to live,
Because my soul, my life, is all I have to give.
