The Things I Did For You

As you were about to take your last breath in the gutter of sorrow,I saw you.

I picked you up and made you mine.

Your eyes were lifeless but I saw hope within you.

'Hold on for me ' I said

'For you' you said in response

Took you home,gave you all my Love but no one had to know.

I did it out of the goodness of my heart and not pride.

The first time you said 'I love you' was imprinted into my heart.

But all good things come to an end.

Why did you leave?

Was it me?

I see you with another and I fall apart.

Watching you suffer was better than this feeling ; this pain of heartbreak.

It's sad,really because it puts everything that I did and gave up to shame.

But still not a soul needs to know.

I love you so I'll let you go.

A knock at my door?

You?

You came back,tears steaming down your spotless cheeks.

'I need you' you say as you slowly make eye contact with my doorstep mat that you soiled.

Where was your company when I needed it most? I thought

But regardless I stooped to your low level.

' There is always hope,hold on' I responded

You smile and invite yourself into your 'home'.

This time will be different.

Stay: Let me love you.

You're still broken inside but so am I, so let's hurt and heal together.

For the things I did for you were not in vain.

Not a soul needs to know what I did for it was out of Love.

So will you promise me ; Soulmates for life?
