To You
by joetwo
To you I write these words
If you will get them or not is of no real import
But I would rather you did
For this is my chance to say what I have not yet said
That you mean the world to me
That what I am, all I have done, was in homage to you
I know that may come as a shock
That you have sometimes disapproved of my actions
But still you were the inspiration
Not to impress, or otherwise win over
I don’t think you in any way so fickle
But rather as a statement, of what I am and how you define me
To you I gave this testament
That you chose to reject it was your own prerogative
My disappointment won’t change that
How you live your life is up to you
With or without me
You chose without
To you I pledge my life
What I do now may well be my last act
I complete it yet still die, I will not consider it a waste
This is what I have been working for
The final piece of the puzzle
The completion of my dedication to you
I hope you will find it in your heart to look at it favourably
But you haven’t before
I can give nothing more, this is the last of it
To you I’ve given it all
Why did I give it in vain?
