You love me?
Really........
What is that
To love someone?
You need me
You want and take
On your own terms
But what do you give
In return?
What sacrifice is your's for love?
Your love has limits
It's caused such pain
You do not know me
Just my name
Hello Linda.
I enjoyed this very much. I think that your premise (that many loves are not such because the imbalance is too great) is spot on, though I do wonder whether one is onto a hiding to nothing because the computation of the imbalance of itself alters the relationship.I also wonder whether the focus of the balancing act immediately afterwards (ie the shortfall) loses sight of what might be a very large chunk of the relationship – the core material, the bedrock - which is perfectly capable of delivering the gifts of love (and routinely does so); the shortfall being mere marzipan.
Perhaps you can be persuaded to reveal your thoughts on the big question mark at the end of your very nice poem?
