Nothing Personal

EASN

Free verse
I love you too much
To let anything bad happen to you
I love you too much
To see you do bad things
I love you too much
To do nothing

I wont sit and do nothing
I will stop you
Even if I have to hurt you to save you
I wont sit and do nothing

It’s nothing personal
I just love you too much


Eric (and sometimes not)

About this poem

This is a result of a lifelong friend who was heading down the wrong path in life and it came to the point of doing something drastic or losing them. I chose the former and for a time it was ugly but in the end that person is alive and they dont hate me anymore.
