When I chose to love you I chose to be a part. No longer a stray piece But one half of a heart.
I took unto my care The responsibility To never freely choose To hurt unnecessarily.
I chose to open my soul And to tear down the walls. To listen with my heart Until I heard your heart's call.
I chose to place my trust In the love you chose to give. And I no longer give a thought To where I end and you begin.

About this poem:
I wrote this poem because someone I dearly loved told me that he couldn't be responsible for how I felt when he walked away from me after telling me he loved me, and married another woman.
