Suzette Campbell Poet Free verse

Egotistical

EGOTISTICAL 

"I love you too much
To fight you 
So I'm setting you free
So you can fly happy 
Never wanted quit
I must admit
That this relationship 
Had an ego trip

The turbulence 
Was too often 
It kept shaking my heart
I'd rather keep it intact
Than have it fall apart 
For all the wrong we did
Glad to let go
Time we kill this 
The lying Ego 
We use to care
Show concern
If we'd only stop
Give love a turn

But we blew it up
A forrest fire now burns
All we do is accuse
And take turns 
While this ego
Wiggle like worms
Killing us both
Soon you and I
In urns
So I had to stop 
I had the desire to learn
Broke up with ego 
Cause my heart still yearns

I love you too much
To fight you 
So I'm setting you free
So you can fly happy 
Never wanted to quit 
I must admit
This relationship
Had an ego trip

No one wins
But ego will ride
Every wave or storm
It never hides
But shakes the ship
And watch the fight 
Who won the war
The battle was tight 
Put our souls at risk
Did we ever ask why
Tsunamis were better
Floods real high
Destroying the years
Silencing the cries
Of a love
That was a natural high
Ever wonder why 
We didn't try, 
We tell ourselves
Pretty little lies 
I love you too much
To fight you 
So I'm setting you free
So you can fly happy 
Never wanted to quit
I must admit
This relationship 
Had an ego trip

Unwilling to change
This illusion of control
Like the hunger games
Kills the soul
Causing emotional pain,
Giving ego lava
Sending hot rain
Crumble like cassava
We both lose
Love was the aim
But we invited ego
The relationship can't tame

I love you too much
To fight you 
So I'm setting you free
So you can fly happy
Never wanted to quit
I must admit
This relationship 
Had an ego trip"

Michelle Faulkner January 6, 2019 at 6:08 PM So full of the pain of letting go, well done! Suzette Campbell January 6, 2019 at 9:54 PM Thank you, wanted to exhibit the ego in relationships

Phil Capitano January 4, 2019 at 4:17 AM Well stated Suzette, the ego invades all parts of our lives if we let it. Hurt and pain come from the ego while love comes from the heart, no mind or ego involved. Keep up the good work. Suzette Campbell January 6, 2019 at 9:55 PM Thank you Phil
