The Lover No More

Logic tells me one thing, my heart tells me another, this confuses often, why am I such a lover. It's not just women I love, everyone knows, anyone has problems, I am the place they go. I'd give the shirt off my back, If I saw you were cold, this is who I am, but it really takes it's toll. I find happiness in there pains, a way to distract my mind, I help them with there problems, so I can forget mine. I feel guilty if I don't help, I don't like seeing people struggle, but it's a hard balancing act, everything has to be juggled. There are givers and takers in my life, the takers need to be shed, I will be the lover no more, I need to get that into my head. M.Mahauariki © 2012
