Couldn't find a place to say hi. So hi to all. I GAVE I gave you food when you were hungry You gave me dishes to wash I gave you water when you were thirsty You gave me cups to clean I gave you knowledge when questions were asked You gave me ignorance at a glance I gave you a place to call your own You gave me holes in the walls You gave me doors no longer left I gave you work when few would You gave me hollow words and broken tools I gave you support, believing in the future You gave me nothing to fall back on With tear stained eyes you asked for love I gave you…… nothing |

Christopher~ Welcome to PiP ~~ Your poetic emote says so much about a relationship when one takes and gives back nothing~ Excellent step into this poetic circle~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

I loved this poem. We have all been in the type of relationship it describes. Keep writing. |

Its good to finally stop giving to someone who will give nothing back. It's ok to take a little as long as your giving a little back. But no one has to always give. I’m good during the day. But at night I wait.I wait for the one who’ll never return. |

Hey doll... once again a perfect window into so many of our lives. Our scars are the foundation for what we have become |

Thank you both very much. MM it's sad that most people encounter this at some stage in life... maybe it's just a part of personal evolution. |

Extremely well done! It is very true that this applies to almost everyone at some point in their life. We all just have to learn how to best handle it. |

MD... your cousin is my stepson? No...I'm just being facetious...because of a situation I had with my cousin. |
