i gave you everything

i gave you my eyes –
the ones you loved so much –
because they shimmered
like the surface of the lake
next to your home.

i gave you my lips –
rosy pink, blushing red
when our lips met –
because you loved the kisses,
pictures of adorations.

i gave you my body –
beautiful, you murmured
as your hands traced down my curves –
because you were mine –
my golden treasure.

i gave you my heart
because i loved you,
because i thought you were mine,
and you looked at it
and dropped it,
watching it shatter against the cement
into bleeding red pieces.
