DEDICATED TO THOSE WHO LOVE TOO MUCH
I write to those who gave their power away
And feel empty inside for doing so;
Because they took it all from you
Even though they felt nothing.
Now that you feel servile and less
Than a person, it is good to remember
How it all got askew in the first place;
You got all caught up in a dream.
Love can make you weak when unrequited
Less than a man or a woman because you
Gave your love to excess and that was a
Lot more than was needed or asked for.
Such going to excess may be called a vice
But no one in their right mind would ever say
Loving too much is superfluous or irrelevant;
If true, then poetry, art and music are irrelevant.
We often dream dreams larger than life
And occasionally such a dream becomes real
And we meet a soul mate that is more than
Able to absorb all the excess love we have.
