Rosemary

I have a rosemary.

I got it green,

full of life and aroma.

But my rosemary lost its lean,

and went into a deep coma.

But I still water it every few days 

hoping it will wake.

I see the soil always wet,

my water it won’t take.

Maybe it was me that killed her,

maybe when I love I overwhelm

and water a bit too much

maybe sometimes I forget.

It’s either this or that,

either all or nothing.

I have days where love in me grows

and others where I can’t find it.

Maybe when it grows, I give too much away

and I am left without it.

But what killed my rosemary?

Was it all or nothing?
