I Gave Too Much

I Gave Too Much

I gave to you my heart of hearts

I gave to you a promise of love

I took from you all that you gave

And granted you no room to shove.

I sent to you a moonlight kiss

I sent to you a rambling rose

I took from you all that you were

And granted you no more than prose.

I threw at you a resounding no

I threw at you a begging please

I took from you all that I could

And granted you no time to cease.

I gave to you a loving embrace

I gave to you a humble home

I took from you all that you gave

And granted you no more than a show.

I sent to you a warm,familiar touch

I sent to you those things I could

I took from you all that you wanted

And granted you no more than I should.
