Take it...

Take it. 

It is yours to keep. 

It is filled

with all the love I feel for you. 

It is fragile, 

it is weak 

and it holds all the tears 

I cried for you. 

Take it, 

hold on to it and 

know that 

with this you are

loved beyond 

measure. 

Take it and keep it. 

It holds the hurt

you caused, 

the pain I no longer 

want to feel. 

Take it, 

without you, 

I don't need it. 

It will never be the same. 

Take it, 

all the broken pieces

and shattered dreams it contains. 

Take it

and know that 

it belongs only to you. 

Take it

because I don't want it. 

It reminds me only

of 

memories I no longer need

if we are no longer

together. 

Remember though, 

that there is 

love in this for you. 

Pure, sweet, 

true love, 

that you do deserve, 

even though I know you 

think you don't. 

Take it, 

cherish it, 

hold on to it, 

and think of us. 

For everything I love and hold 

dear is kept right 

there 

in that heart of mine.
