A Love That Consumes Poem by Angelique Neal

Let it take you over
Let it consume you
Allow yourself indulgence
Let it pollute you

Let it burn you up
From the inside out
Submit to it
Give it emotional clout

Do not resist it
Let that love give you drive
Use it as sustenance
Let it keep you alive

Let it give you purpose
And hold you like the air
Let it be your source of joy
Only if you dare

If not, you will be lacking
Left with an empty space
and where your love has vanished
despair will take it's place
