I made a mistake.
I loved others too hard
And myself too little.
I gave away love
Freely
Never costing others
Priceless
But I couldn’t afford it
Pricey.
Offered my whole self
While I received half,
And many times
not even a quarter
Of soul-stirring
Love.
Opened my heart’s doors
Only to have them slammed in my face.
Treated less than,
But never asked for more
Not realizing my diamond-like
worthiness
In a world of cubic zirconia
And Diamonique
trash.
Accepted this half-ass love
Thought that it could
Conquer my demons.
Never realizing
It was annihilating me.
