Out of Giving 

You said you wanted happiness,
A though that sounded great.
You said you needed peace of mind
I offered you a plate. 

You said you wanted me around. 
I showed you how to make it.
I gave the opportunity
How come you didn't take it?

You know the things I need to have. 
My life's an open door
And, in return I'd give and give,
And then I'd give some more.

But, either I am very dumb
Or you're not very smart.
While I spent my time giving,
You were taking me apart.

You never tried to understand
What I was all about
And now, instead of giving,
I have simply given out.

Frustration makes my muscles ache
But life is for the living.
How sad you finally came to take
When I was out of giving.
