I lied.

by chiquita3946 - Libra

a month ago i claimed that love was Solace.
i lied.
love is Loss.

the surrender of your soul, often
taking no Heart in return

in being part of One
we lose
    (i lost)
identity

and i was careful, too.

yet what life is one i perpetually attempt to
control?
(yet who am i now that you own my Self?)

perhaps my only risk, i should Regret
for even now you've gone, 
i've not returned.

Reason for writing:

    something died inside me.
