A Prolix Heart

A Prolix Heart

I loved you too much

my prolix heart obsessed

It was too easily undressed

I gave more than touch

 

If you don't believe me, 

pack your heart up and leave me. 

Alone to wonder about you,

was it more or you?

 

I loved you too much

Hearts easily set ablaze,

In love's pernicious ways.

I still love you too much. 

 

My mind lay quixotic

Time heals the toxic,

 

I will love you again.

  • Comment from author about the poem: We habitually "love" others too much but ourselves not enough, we infatuate over what we hope will reciprocate and fill the voids we may or may not recognize.
