take it all back
the world
which you gave
my shoulders can't
bear the weight

take it all back
the sky
for its too vast
and I can't inhibit
the thunder and lightning

take it all back
the moon
and the stars even
for they have lost
their shine and twinkle

take it all back
the diamonds
the radiance blinds me
and the coldness
is all too familiar

take it all back
everything
that you promised me
its all meaningless
without your heart

the world, the sky
the moon, the stars
the diamonds,
     your promises
take it all back

and return my heart.

-Trina.

Great impassioned plea for reclaiming her life. Take it all back and depart fool.

it's all meaningless
without your heart


That's indeed the impression we get, you rendered this pain very well.
Take your heart back and wrap it in your own love and tenderness.
Love,
Margherita

The pain of unfulfilled love is purely felt here Trina.
Just wonderful expression!

Beautiful, and direct, and honestly done.
Thanks,

Trina: nice cadence & repetitious phrasing for effect..lesson learned the hard way: hold on to your heart--at all costs.

You'd be surprised by the pain I can imagine inflicting and receiving.
