Give and Take

I allowed you into my life
Because you were my friend.
I allowed you into my heart
Because you loved me, too.
I allowed you a glimpse into my soul
Because you would never judge me.

I gave you my trust
because I believed in you.
I gave you my faith
because I believed in us.
I gave you everything
Because you gave me what you could

You allowed me into your life
because you were lonely
You took my heart
because you had none of your own.
You took a glimpse of my soul
and judged me for what you never understood

You abused my trust
without any regret
You crushed my faith
in love, in you, in myself.
You took everything I could give you
And gave me nothing but lies, and pain, in return.
