Not For You

Poetry of sadness

I’ve only given all that you weren’t offering.

And you could have fixed the wounds I was suffering.

But you never thought that helping was a thing to do.

So I’ve loved you dearly on my way to ugly truth.

Still I hope you find some heaven in the tear-stained world.

And I shall lose the earth

But not for you.
