DEDICATED TO THOSE WHO LOVE TOO MUCH

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.
