Suggest which of us is likely to suffer more
The trusting or the trusted
The one who gave her heart into another’s keeping
Or the one who misplaced what he did not deserve
A jewel more precious than either of our lives
Given all too readily
Broken all too easily
Suggest which of us is likely to suffer more
The lover or the loved
The girl with the empty space where her heart once rested
Or the boy with the seeds of guilt sewn into his spirit
An organ too fragile for either of us to handle
Given all too readily
Broken all too easily
Suggest which of us is likely to suffer more
When the time comes to take back our words
To turn the tides of emotion that seemed to overcome us
When our thoughts are laid bare for all the world to see
Who do you think will hurt the most?
I who loved you with no thought of consequence
Or you who took for granted what should never have been yours
My trust, my love, my heart
Given all too readily
Broken all too easily
Hidden once more and elusive to all but you
Such as you were

Lovely poem. Thanks for introducing me to a new blogger!
Take it easy with the schools stuff. It will end eventually...one day and hopefully, like me, you will still remember them as some of the best days of your life. - G
@Georgina: Thank you. There are always a wonderful blogger out there waiting to be discovered. Yes, I truly believe the schools are and will be always the best days too.
