I Love You But I Can'T Love Myself Poem by Karin Elizabeth Martin

I love you, since the 1st day I saw you,
even before when I envisioned who you be...
Even if you are angry, I love you so much,
I love you enough, to try to empathize with your feelings...
I can't see you suffer, I love you too much,
When you soar at your highest, I smile and pray...
I secretly kiss away tears, when your day turns to blue,
You stand here so lonely, I cannot speak my peace...
Determined you are, to find your own way,
Please understand my selfish emotion, Only what's happy...
Can't stand in your way, Even if I have lived all these things,
I still am at bay...
Someone else has your heart now, and I must move on,
I just want you to know that my love is so strong...
Mistakes might be made, and promises broken,
But I will be here, and try to love you less...
Just so you can live your life, make your path,
And tell me all about the journey you take...
I will always love you enough, to keep you in my world,
You see, you will always be my little girl
