being emotionally anemic is hard.
especially when you have someone
relying on you with such fervor...
-to supply their heart's beat.
every step you take has to be right.
every word said so fitting;
a big task that has me drained.
growing weaker by the day.
-i cannot pump your heart and mine too.
this anemia is affecting me.
so much effort goes into being your lifeline
that i neglect myself,
cause internal bleeding
that i cannot afford.
i can't be your sole source-
this anemia is affecting me.

karrie b- metaphor. lol. you are silly. and thanks chica.
that one chick- well this piece is old, but i can understand how that would get toxic over time.
and, welcome!
Touching poem. I held my breathe while reading it. Which is a sure sign for me whenever i am moved by something. I tried to find the right words to say. Until I realize there are no right words to say when dealing with the heart.
Follow your heart.
Baby I sho did like these here poetry. Take care now.

I LOVE it!
Pretty much describes me in my last relationship.
Very well put, Muze!
if the person you're with only has one source of affection, you, then all the passion is going right out the window
unless, of course, they're crazy lol
people have to have other sources of emotional fulfillment other than the one they are presently obsessed with
one person just won't be able to do it
deep.
luv it
