too giving

by khadjahelaine

I gave you five years of me

Of my time

Of my love

Of my soul

Of my body

Sometimes I regret you

Wish I could forget you

Maybe I can

Sometimes I fear no one can handle me

Love me the way I need

Or maybe I won’t allow them

Maybe love has sailed away and left me

I never thought to board cuz I was caught up in security

Sometimes I hate giving my heart away

Letting people borrow pieces of me

Just to stomp me out

To leave me stranded

Parched for love and affection

Like I’ve been in the desert for a week

Death at the door

Waiting for us to fall apart

Sometimes I contemplate answering

I imagine life without you

It’s freeing, yet cold

All encompassing, yet lonely

But so is being loved by you.
