I was too nice, I gave too much.
I let them inside too soon.
Still too delicate, ignorant and trusting.
Kept nothing for myself,
gave it all away before i knew what I had.
One day, I looked down,
and my empty hands held and empty heart.
Cradling what once was full.

I gave it away too soon,
before I knew what I had.
Before I knew what I had too offer,
I offered it away.

Changed now, my hands reflect and defend.
Skeptical of your sincerity.
Everything is fake.
I have nothing else to give.
I can't even take.
Can't even feel,
your hands reaching out.
I've built a thicker wall, around my battered heart.

Trapped inside,
Now I'm alone.
The goodness has been taken,
picked through and picked over.

You took it all away too soon.
Before I even knew what I had,
Before i knew what I had to offer,
I looked inside, and it was gone.

Changed now, a heart of stone.
Cold and alone.
Flooded with memories of the hurt that I felt,
when my hands were still full,
and my heart was still open,

....and I had everything to give.

Oh heck I forgot. Awesome poem. I thought I was reading song lyrics. I googled it to see who it was by. Zero hits. Then it hit me that it was YOURS.

Sad, though. For what it's worth, time heals.

Stephen Lynch - Half A Man

All my days,
I live with my disgrace
I'm afraid to show my face
Or at least take off my underwear...

like a half-way neutered pet
I don't have a matching set
It's a part of me that, just ain't there please don't stare...

well I'm a gamblin man without two dice
I'm like uncle ben with only one grain of rice
oh to have two testes would be so nice

But I'm half a man
Yeah, I'm half a man

Wanna die, and all just call it quits
I can't find a cup that fits
and at baseball games,
i feel so dumb when i hear, ball one..

Oh my god, how could you have been so cruel
To give me one family jewel
And the one that's there must feel so sad
He's a lonely nad

Well I'm a marathon runner with just one leg
I'm a fallopian tube with just one egg
Oh I want another teste do I have to beg


or be Half a man...
yeah im half a man...



Well I'm a tweedle dee with no tweedle dum and I'm a siskel and Ebert with just one thumb..
and I'm a yo ho ho, with no bottle of rum..

I'm just Half a man..
yeah I'm, half a man..
