Girl, You Love Me Way Too Much
As you lay there softly sleeping
I keep wondering what went wrong.
I gave you all the love I had to give,
I guess it didn't matter all along.
Well I guess you were the one who
Made me feeling sad and so blue,
That I cry for you in the middle of the night.
You told me things were gonna be alright.
My sad eyes hunger for your love
My tired bones yearn for your touch,
But in your own words you have spoken.
Girl, you love me way too much.
The last time that I came to town
I called you on the phone.
I wanted so much just to hold you.
You told me that you'd rather be alone.
Well I guess you're still the same ol' cowboy
always roaming around the town.
No horse, no woman's ever going to tame you.
You'll die before you ever live that down.
My sad eyes hunger for your love,
My tired bones yearn for your touch,
But in your own words you have spoken.
Girl, you love me way too much.
About this poem
I lived with a guy whom I loved most of all. Only trouble was, he didn't love me near as much, if at all. He used to say to me "Girl, you love me way too much". It took me many years to figure out that yes, I did.
