Myself In Me

i wasn’t afraid to have you
but, to let myself fade away
because your love tends to be selfish
a shade, i came to know
you might think its endearing
sadly, it hurt to show
my love is no property
you boast about
it’s a blessing to cherish
i know now
i take my leave
in silent plea
i do love you
but, not enough
to lose
myself in me
