Zero-Sum Game

I gave you all I could,

And you took it all,

As I knew you would.

Me thinkest thou didst not protest:

You left me with a hole...

And took the rest.

Peripherally blinded, I saw but you,

And gave up my dreams

For all you wanted to do.

Deliver you from evil, I would,

I would fly you to the moon,

But for the lifeless legs on which I now stood.

And even faced with the empty street's end,

Just to wipe your tears

I would do it all over again.
