Balance

This isn't just poetry

But a cry for help

Yesterday I lost my love

Through lack of symmetry inside myself.

 

I tend to overthink things

Because my imagination is alive and well

Unfortunately it not only can help me show I love her

But believe in an instant that she doesn't love me.

It's simple, see.

 

The trust I have in her is whole and pure; without fear.

But my imagination twists things just like the devil.

Now I am without my love.

On a mission.

 

What I believe is

My active imagination is the cause

for my enthusiasm.

The same enthusiasm my love fell for.

 

So riddle me this.

How can I STOP overthinking things,

realize it when I am(Quickly),

And shape myself in who I should be..

 

..without misplacing my enthusiasm

with a bore, who would begin again overthinking from being insecure.

Why am I such a effing PARADOX?!

 

It's me. I know it is. She knows it is.

She is perfect. I am crippled with imperfections.

She was fantastic... And you know what, I was crap.

 

She doesn't know that I am still trying. But I will fix me. For us.

If heartbreak reemerges. Then I shall take my punishment. And respectfully let her go.

 

I just have to find balance. A controlled mind. Then I will be freed from myself.
