The Love of Self


I drowned in the dept of your love
You consumed me with your power from just saying I love  you
And I loved you
I was unsuccessfully , successful at loving you
You where my fix and I was your Debt
I never knew what Love was until our rocket came crashing down
You rode my heart  until your sail couldn’t sail anymore
Till holes where torn and scars had formed
Where you couldn’t even look me in my eyes and tell me you loved me anymore
And I loved you
I was unsuccessfully, successful at you loving you
I cried for you
And you lied to me to
And you took the pieces of my heart and pasted them where hers where missing just so you could show her what you love could do
But I found love to
And because You never saw how I loved u should you what my love could do
I no longer needed you
I became your fix and you where my debt
And I found a love a love that put me to the test
The love the love of myself
