My Truth

By Scarrzz

.


You taught me the meaning of True Love.

To choose one truth as preeminent above all others.

Or is that Faith?

What is it when you give up everything for a chance at

the one thing you truly desire?

The pearl of great price.

You were my price.

I have never been fully accepted, even though I thought for once I was.

I cannot say whether I have been fully desired,

but I have only felt it from you.

For you to say that you only wanted “someone”

crushes me as shattered glass.

You would take from me everything, only to throw me away?

I had not known single-mindedness of heart until that moment when I

gave up everything of myself to be yours.

The love that was generated in my heart

is beyond anything else in my comprehension.

I gave you all of me.

Even though you didn’t want it, I wish for you to know my truth.

You have my love.

    An interesting read here. Giving yourself fully, is there really any other way when you feel these feelings? It does set you up to be destroyed and yet if the risk is worth the reward.... Nicely written :)

  • A former member wrote: Scarzzz scarzzz scarzzz.... I like the way that looks... is not any faith defined by the unfaithful? Are not the limits of love discovered by the loveless? I respect the amount of truthfulness here, the sincerity is beyond question. I would suggest, perhaps, maybe, and of course, only a suggestion.... that in the lines: "The pearl of great price.You were my price." the pearl be more prominent than the price.... maybe perhaps.... good to see you writing again! I hope all is well.

  • A former member wrote: Such selfless sentiment. However, I do not believe in giving all of yourself to someone; for if they destroy it, tell me, what would remain? Nice write this one had a bit of a sting to it. :)
