I Love Thee Too Much Poem by Sherry Painter

Love thee for who they are,
Love thee for who they can be,
Love thee from who they become,
I do,
But for all that I do,
I get shot in the heart,
Time and time again
And left there to put myself together

I love thee too much,
How can that be?
It is possible,
I do it every time you decide to come around,
And every time I let you come inside
Even though I now its not going to end well

Why? Why do I keep letting this happen?
Because I love you

And because I love thee to much,
And its killing me
And my heart, its such a mess, the scar tissue is built up so thick...
