Writing Outside the Lines – Prompt 40 – Loving You …

Source: We Heart It

Loving You …

All the Complications*

in loving you…

Trying to really love YOU…

Resulted in  me no longer

loving ME …

 

You demand all of me

Sucked up every morsel

of my soul leaving

nothing of me

 

In the end to keep from

losing me…

Losing myself…

I had to no longer love you

So …

I could return to loving me

Find my soul

And …

Find the me I lost in loving

YOU…
