My Love

May 26, 2023

I often ask myself 

If my sole purpose was to overlove everyone

Besides myself. 

The love 

I’m supposed to keep close to my chest

And protect at every cost, 

Gone into the wind,

In inordinate amounts. 

To where? 

I hadn’t the pleasure of knowing 

Where it’s landed and settled. 

But I hope it’s the hands 

Of someone lovely. 

Someone in dire 

Need of being loved,

Or just having a bit of it. 

If that were the case, 

I suppose the little love 

I have for myself 

Is better than none.
