Fine Tuned Troubles

I was not an unhappy soul
but I had learned to tune
my inner self off
stopped seeking the unreachable
and that had a kind of peace
about it.
But you came along
and made me care
love no longer an illusion
of unhoped for yearnings
and I gave you all of me
counteracting
you punished me
as soon as I came to life
leaving me desperate
with it....
