Loving You Is Killing Me

Loving you
Is killing me.
I’ve tried to
Let it show…
I love you
With all my heart
We struggle with
Endless thoughts
Of letting go.
I’ve tried to show
You how Much
You mean to me
You say, go away,
Just let me be.
I’m not your mother,
I’m not your father,
Nor your sister,
Or your brother…
Why do I pay…
For their mistakes?
I thought some how,
Love was enough
I want to love you.
Please remember,
I too was from
A broken home
No one was there
To teach me love
But I found it
When I met you.
I thought maybe
Two lost hearts
May one day
Again be found?
I have used
All my strength
Just to try to
Let you know
Love isn’t
Something that
Just comes and goes
I drained my heart
To let it all show
I have fought
Long and hard
I now am tired
Can’t you see…?
Loving you is killing me.
