Surviving Heartbreak

A Love Unseen

I gave you so much of me,

But you didn't know how to hold it.

I was a storm in your sky,

Wild and untamed,

And when the sunrise came,

If you had only stayed,

If you had truly seen me—

A light breaking through the dark—

You would have known

I could offer you what no one else could.

I have so much love to give,

Yet I keep giving it,

To those who can't truly receive it,

Can't hold it, can't feel it,

The way I do.

I place my heart on the line

For everyone but myself,

Constantly giving, always emptying.

I give and I give,

Not for the sake of receiving,

But to believe

That someday I'll finally know,

That I, too, deserve

The kind of love I pour out,

Into the world.
