If you're going to love me
you have to do it right.
You need to give me all your love
to keep me home at night.
I'm not going to settle
for anything but the best.
I can't live with part of your love
when some one else has the rest.
Traces of your love
aren't good enough any more.
Traces of your love
won't stop me walking out the door.
Love must be give and take
if it is going to last,
but not me giving all my love,
while yours is taken by the past.
So let the past lie sleeping
and start anew today.
If you can't, then say goodbye
and I'll be on my way.

Lay down that law.....if you are going to love with all your heart then you deserve to have the attention SHARED with you. If not...move on to someone willing to give their all as well. Excellent job here.

Dee,
what a magnificent thought provoking piece. I admire the way you put those thought together.

Be well

Yes this is the way I feel right now...I don't just want part of someones love...love should keep growing and how can it grow if it is spread around too thin...it takes care and appreciation...James

I'm glad you found something in my poem, James. I too don't think you can share some ones love. It's all or nothing.
