I gave you my heart

This is a poem inspired by a recent news article about a young guy who got a second chance in life with a heart transplant (his doctors did not think he was the right candidate because of his part. .. but some social bodies got together to ensure he got a new heart) and met with in an accident driving a stolen car during a police chase after having threatened an old lady, and died.
I see you get into the car,
I see you look so much better.
I see you wave your hands,
And start to zoom latter.
I think to myself.. i gave you my heart.
They said you were weak,
They said you could not be trusted.
But other believed in you,
Just needed time to get adjusted.
I think to myself.. i gave you my heart.
You proved them wrong,
All those who gave you a glance.
You went back on your word,
You spit on the second chance.
I think to myself.. I gave you my heart.
As you zoom away I look behind,
The destruction you left.
Cops chasing, people cursing,
All those believer bereft.
I think to myself.. I gave you my heart.
You have nowhere to go,
Stuck between the car and pole.
Hurting my folks, thinking you deserved,
Leaving them with a big hole.
I think to myself... I gave you my heart.
They thought I could live through you,
You could feel the love I had for the rest.
They thought you would become a better person,
With my heart beating inside your chest.
I think to myself.. I gave you my heart.
And now my heart has started to slow down,
It has lost all hope.
And here I am, fading away and thinking to myself...
Why did I give you my heart..
