I kept a list of everything I gave you Not because I wanted it back, but to remind me I was real My time, my trust, my body, my patience You took them all like they were part of the deal I never asked for receipts, I never kept the score Until I realized you were keeping one of your own You gave me just enough to keep me at the table But never enough to make me feel like I was home I gave you everything, you gave me almost I showed up open, you showed up closed I paid in tears, you paid in silence I gave you love, you gave me violence Tell me, was I ever worth the cost?
