I Gave You

I gave you all I am

I gave you everything 

Lost worthless nothings

Gained worthy everythings

You are sustenance 

You are

You are the myrrh of this desolate isle 

You brought life and joy to a dead place 

A sweetness foreign to all of me before you came

There’s always a humming

There’s always a heartwarming jingle 

That embodies the patter of your footsteps 

And when you pass by

I drown in the calm thoughts pervading every fibre of my person

I am flooded by a sensation greater than every sensory perception 

You are a puzzle inviting peace

The more I piece you together 

The less life ceases to confound 

You are a vision foretelling the future 

The more you tell me what awaits us

The less intangible purpose becomes 

You are priceless

I gave you all I am

I gave you everything 

Lost worthless nothings

Gained worthy everythings

You are sustenance 

You are 

Sometimes I sense a sadness 

A sadness behind that radiance

I wonder what story exists there

I don’t seek to fix it here

I don’t wield a scalpel with the promise of wellness

There was an acceptance in our silence 

Not even our experience with seance

Could solidify that, the blurred imperfection makes you whole 

Even when we walked the lit streets of Castiglione delle Stiviere

All I ask now is for you to let it go

Ya dejalo ir

Let it go mi amor

Deep in the trenches of Mariana

Someplace without hate’s miasma

Drown wholly in the torrential shower of my ama

Let down your walls and face it head-on

Embrace what you’ve been searching for 

What has been brewing in your Corazón

Fan the flames in the fireplace of your heart

You came to me

And I gave you all of me

You held my hand

And I gave you all I am

You asked for love

And I gave you everything 

You are sustenance

You are
