Too Much Love

 I have been too much in love,

to see the sorrow it hides..

I have seen pain,

while love grows insane,

I have cried all night,

when all I wanted was to

end the fight..

 

I have been too much in love,

to see the lack of depth inside..

I have seen smiles,

that don’t mean anything,

I have seen teardrops,

that fall and deny,

I have seen broken pieces,

scattered everywhere,

when all I wanted was someone to hold me together..

 

I have been too much in love,

to ignore the poison that kills one side..

I have slept through open eyes..

waiting on responses,

I have kept withholding the lies..

sitting at the table for hours,

I have seen myself vanquishing,

trying to fit into a dress I will never wear..

when all I wanted was someone to stop treating me as a spare..

 

I have been too much in love,

look at how obsessive this all sounds..

I hope when you read it,

you still find me around..

amidst empty cups dusting a shelf,

with a picture frame,

of us still looking at each other..

like I always wanted us to be…
