Giving for Giving

Sometimes giving is like taking
put your heart into a black hole
do not expect to get it back just the same
if at all...

Sometimes giving is like remembering
familiar echoes of something given to you
you give it with the same fervor that you'd take it back
if you could...

Sometimes giving is a surrender
you do it so much you close your eyes
your autopilot just as generous as your former self
as you would

Sometimes giving is for a purpose
and you break when you do not yield your expected return
with no-one to blame but yourself
as you should

Sometimes giving is just too much
when you watch it stomped and shattered
and then you must give to yourself
just let go.
