Love in small doses

When one is addicted all consuming in a love relationship that is skewed to one side, A lover might take advantage of that love by depriving you of love in return in full but give you love in small doses.

 

 
 

 

LOVE IN SMALL DOSES
 
 
Like a man in a parched desert without food and water
Who is hanging on by a thread
Can only intake a little at a time
As to sustenance to be fed.
My heart is yearning for your love for it has crossed a parched desert
When you should have kept it watered; it has withered from neglect
I am starving for your love and affection and in a beggars position I bring roses
   Can’t take love full to my heart but slowly in small doses.
 
 
Can’t let go of a love so deep
No tears are left for me to weep
In my heart goodbye I speak
But when you are near I grow weak.
Can’t get rid of this feeling inside
As a human being I’ve died
You know how much I need your love.
    You control my yearnings by giving me a little bit of.
 
 
In aches and pains I toss in agony
Wanting to hold you and you to be near me
I’m being fed as a prescription through hoses
That is little by little, love in small doses.
How will all this end?
I’m weak toward you and can’t defend
Without your love I will die
From deep within goes an outcry.
 
I curse and pray at the same time
Hoping you’ll open your heart and be mine
Knowing I’m only dreaming of wine and roses
Yearning for just a little bit of your love fed in small doses.

Oh yes indeed, Tommy, love in small doses is a very unsatisfying way to experience love. To never know the waves of lustful abandonment which happens when love is forever held back, can be excruciatingly cruel.

Perhaps those small bit of love will one day grow and blossom into a full bouquet, very endearing...

Be always safe,
Karen

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
