Gave Too Much

I gave you wings so you could fly

But I received nothing in return

I gave you courage to stand and rise

But you left and now it hurts

Did I give you too much power?

Too much of my time and hours?

Did I give you too little power?

So that you run away like a coward?

Was I not enough?

Did I do way too much?

Just so you can run from me?

Did I come off as rough?

Make you too tough?

So that you could walk all over me?

Now you take your courage and flight and leave

While I stand on the ground and bleed.
