And I swear I’ll end it
Just one more chat
That’ll get me through
How did I let this happen
The praise of one admirer infected me so
Obsession kicked in and I fell deeper
Into a trap that could permanently ensnare me
Butterflies born of ego, not affection
Racing heart sparked by adoration and attention
The heights from this pedestal thrill me
As I glance down at all the world below
Yet I back away from the edge
Lest I crash to the ground
Destruction can only come of this
Distorted illusion of paradise, love
Message read and phone locked
Reluctantly I walk away
For your own good and mine also
Aware of the lofty price that both you and I would’ve had to pay

Walking away takes courage.
In the end many of us should have just walked away.
Very heartfelt writing. |

You speak eloquently of being in love with love. An addiction whose promises are tempting.
How fortunate you have a guide to follow!
Your faith will sustain you, and I do believe, if you fall, He will catch you.
