Remind me
not to give
too much
It hurts
like hell and back
Remind me
to remember
what’s enough
Remind me
to keep
parts hidden
hid
not to over share
Remind me
to hold myself
closer than I’m held
by those who take
without a thought
to consequence
who leech
the heart of
giving graciously
Remind me that hurting
hurts
And I’ll try to remember that
when next I’m asked
for asking’s sake
Remind me
else I always forget
as every giving fool
My advice to her and self
Remember to swat some b’s
before they land
or sting
