I gave you every bit of me
filled each and every pore of me,
with YOU...
after 10 LONELY years...
I can STILL smell the pungent sweetness of your sweat
I still crave the complexity of your simplicity...
I just couldn't measure up
I felt unwhole and unsure
leaving me to question if I was ever good enough...
good enough for YOU, that is...
I tried SO hard
I did any and everything
to be who you wanted
to be the woman that made you complete
unfortunately I was never enough...
if we had but one breath left to take
I'd give mine to you,
so you could have 2...
if you needed a drop of blood
I'd give you every ounce I had...
I have loved you so much and for so long
sadly, my love for you, was far greater than than my love for myself

What a relief poetry is. Like a friend who lets one pour out one's heart without comment or censure. Read Mine - Shell-Shock - I have a feeling you will get it where most wont. Adeline
