WOVEN IN
(for a friend)

I loved you when you asked me to—
when you asked me to share your love.
I wove myself into you
and became part of you
…but you did not become part of me

Do you feel what I feel
when you speak unkindly to me?
Do you hear what I hear
when you breathe fire from enraged lips?
Do you hurt with me
when you borrow your happiness
from my tears?

Do you love me?
Did you know Love
When you asked me to love with you?

I cannot show you what you don’t want to see
I cannot tell you what you don’t want to hear
but know this
You are the one I vowed to love
And I have done my part until I am left devoid of love…
I have nothing left to give--
Nothing left for you
or for me…

It’s time to find me again…

This is painfully poignant and well done -

When you're in love alone, it's not love for long.  I like this one, I truly do.
