Everything I had

Am I not rich enough?
I would have given you every penny I had  
 
Am I not caring enough?
I would have listened to every thought in your head  
I would have brought you soup if you were sick
Shared ice cream with you under the beating sun  
I would have bundled with you under blankets in the cold winter nights
 
Everything I have  
Everything I am  
All my feelings hanging on a clothes line
Out to dry  
Isn’t even  
Worth a reply
 
Now I look down
At my empty hands  
Because I gave you
Everything  
 
Isn’t it sad?  
How I poured my heart out
And gave you everything I had
Now all I have are empty pockets
And tear jerking memories  
Of you telling me
You regret the things you said
And how you wish  
We’d never met
 
You said you hate me  
As you walked out  
Discarding me like dirty laundry  
Sprawled around this empty room
That still smells like you
A scent that lingers
Filling my head
With the memories of you
