here, take this heart
i don't want it anymore
it's been broken too many times
and i'm just tired of the hurt

here, take this pain
i don't need it anymore
i know this feeling far too well
and i just want to be free of it

here, take these tears
i don't have any anymore
i've cried too many too long
and i just don't have time for them

here, take this soul
i don't want it anymore
it's empty now and sings no longer
and i just don't have my voice anymore

i don't want to be like this anymore
i want to be like everyone else
without a heart, tears, and a soul
so i won't have the pain

and just be numb. . . like you. . .

If I could "take" away your pain, I would.  There is one lesson in life that no one can ever afford to forget..........NEVER give away what you will need tomorrow.

Tomorrow is another day.  Excellent expression of emotions here, my friend.

"Here, take this heart..." Ouch, thats a painful expression, and I so understand. The poem was perfect, put all of the feelings into words in an eloquent way. Take care.

Oh my!!  Now this poem was EXCELLENT  but oh so sad.  Having to rid yourself of the pain by giving everything away that helps to survive.  Boy oh boy do I know how that feels.
Great post!!
Peace

Deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had
Ahhhhhh you gave me light

Sven don't give away or lose or forget those things that are so special and therefore make you so special.  We all flounder, and doubt, at times, but your soul and beliefs etc are what make you the special man that you are....  *hugs*

I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.....

sven gator....
of all the many poems Ive read of yours
I think this is the first really
sad one Ive ever read...
and while Im sorry for your pain...
i have to say you did an excellent job of expressing your emotions...
Isis is right...dont ever give your self away
what one person may not be able to
accept from you...
will in time be the things
another will walk on water to have...
take care

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.
