My Mistake

I...
Let you in.
willingly and easy.
I didn't make you work.

I should have.
You never appreciated all
that I opened you up to.
How could you,very few people
can ever appreciate what they
never had to work for.


I should have made you work for my Love.

As I watched you...take in huge gulps
of me...barely able to swallow all that
you had bitten off...almost choking on
my kindness...suffocating yourself in
my goodness...

Turning a lovely shade of blue as you
Overdosed on my essence.
I tried to ween you away from me..
but you would have no parts of that
like a spoiled child instead of accepting
less....
You ...demanded more.
I knew you could not handle it.
with tears in my eyes I begged you
to just ....slow down.
My Love wasn't going anywhere
Yet you...had to ...possess me.

You had to have EVERYTHING...and
everything inside me is not yours to have.
I tried to warn you...
but greedy men like you...never listen.
Now...you say your stomach hurts...
I know....
Now you say...you don't feel so well
I know....
Then you say you want a break....
I knew that was coming too.
You want a break because there is nothing
you can do about the lack of space inside you
You....are too full ...of me.
So sad.....( I sigh)
Now...many days have gone by,and I
Have not seen you...
Infact I have no desire to even call.
There is no need...considering
That the best parts of you....got
drowned out....
When you overdosed on me.

I should have made you...
Work for my Love.
That...was My Mistake
