Emptied

I gave my all for you

Because you kept asking

I opened myself to you

And felt myself emptying

Will I now die

As the flesh on my bones

Shrinks to nothing?

No matter how much I cried

Opening my pain to you

All you kept saying was

Sorry

Sorry

Sorry

But the sorrow never changed your actions

Did you not care

A shred for me

Despite your lies?

Really love is not a hunger

A grasping

Instead it is a giving

An allowing

An opening

And a setting free

Not a binding up

Driven by a fear of lack

And if this blindness

Be my destruction

How can I blame anyone else

For any of it

Since I am the one

That allowed it to happen?
