I am a giving tree; Yet shall I be?
For people drain my energy
Compassion wears the fallen leaves
And I am bare with bitter seed
So what do I do now,
Now that I\'m gone?
For every ounce of energy I have
Is gone;
I cannot do this anymore
I cannot be an open door--
Am I selfish?
Am I numb?
Or is falling in love with a narcissist dumb?
I cannot help myself
For I don\'t know what to do
My heart is empty
I cannot pour from an empty cup
Yet I am a giving tree; Yet shall I be?
My roots are my roots
Yet they are pulled apart
With empathy and understanding, I always lose
I wish the narcissist would just turn me loose
Do I have boundaries?
Do I have worth?
For those that I seek to assist
Will soon be dead
Under this giving tree
Yet shall I be concerned about them?
For they aren\'t concerned about me--
What is the purpose of the giving tree
When the giving tree is livid?
Oh poor heart, don\'t withstand me now;
For I am a giving tree,
The circumstances are reckless beyond my concern
For the narcissist has bit me
And he is the snake,
A snake in a giving tree
How on earth did he climb up there?
I have wants, and I have needs
Can somebody let me breathe?
For this love is not personal,
It is a private vendetta
Oh someone give a rose to a giving tree,
For I am in need of love.
