Some conversations will make your heart heavy,
But you shouldn't be having those often.
Some individuals will always end up making you sad
or leave you feeling disappointed,
and exhausted with carrying the weight of them on your shoulders.
It's not what you put in, or could've put in, or even done differently,
It's what they take. The way they will leave you empty if you keep allowing it.
They may or may not even realize what kind of succubus they are,
draining your lightness from you, but either way-
There is nothing you can do for that, for them...
But for you,
close yourself up and put yourself away from that.
It will be hard at first but...
Stop giving your peace & happiness away to feed their insatiable beast.
You deserve and need both.
Go find people to share both with instead.
Equal exchange- Joy for joy, peace for peace, love for love.
Those people are out there waiting for you,
with open arms and open hearts, I promise.
