Fill my cup

A poem

Fill my cup

I love your heart but I love my own

As it matters to me to take care of it before yours

As yours need a lot of care like mine

But mine matters first as you already known you need more

I do too but do it to satisfy you but I need to fulfill my own

Take care of my own

Make me smile for once other than for yours

Not leaving but I want my own to know I can make my own

My own happiness and joy without someone around me

I be happy with the smiles that are mine and mine alone

Does mean you have a loss I just need to fulfill my own

Doesn’t mean we break up or pause I just want to fulfill my own

My own desires crave before I give my all to yours

To make the proudness to make my healing better

I feel good when I am around me and make it well lit on my end before I relit yours and fill your cup

I desire mine for the same and make you feel good at the end

Please don’t be upset this ain’t the end

As I say we still together I just need to fill my cup

Cause at the end it has to be made and love myself at the end

I want to fulfill me so I don’t lose me .
