Gifts.

I met a being along the way.  
Who claimed to be from a far away land.  
Under who's spell. Enchanted i became.  
As they toyed & danced with me.  
I went along, aiming to please.  
 
We gave each other gifts.  
As you toed me along with strings i was unable to see.  
Entangled i became.  
Deaf to the thuth. To blind to see.  
Till it was to late. You see.  
 
You saw the end, well before me.  
Planning  accordingly. You severed ties.  
Yet retained qualities you liked in me.  
As if to sweeten the deal. Giving back the gifts given to thee.  
It saddened me greatly, to receive back gifts given to thee.  
 
I took them back all the same.  
Thinking I'll go along & give them to you next b/day.  
Hoping you keep them next time.  
Not thinking you couldn't bare to except.  
Tokens of love from someone you didn't.  
 
No gift from you have i returned cept.  
A broken watch with a wondrous strap.  
It cost more to get it looked at than to buy another.  
I kept the strap and married with another. that i already had,  
I wear to this day. I treasure the gifts you gave.  
 
One gift more valuable than all the others.  
You opened a door, gave me permission.  
To do what I'm doing now. Encouraging me along.  
By accident or design, by magic or fairy dust.  
Pixie speak or gypsy's kiss.  
 
I wannna thank-you. You being from far far away.  
I'll take this gift as i walk thro the door to an other world.  
That i thought i could never belong.  
I'll go with the flow, I'll drift along.  
I cant wait to see where it goes.
