The Love That Undid Me

The Love That Undid Me

By Nick Aitoro

I loved her deeply. I cared for her. I missed her.
I gave her my mind, my heart, my soul—my dreams.
I devoted my life to her.

But she always needed more—one more thing, one more piece of me.
Now there’s nothing left. The emptiness I carry is proof that I gave everything, without condition.
And still, it wasn’t enough.

Now I stand shattered—broken—wondering where it all went wrong.
Sifting through the fragments of what was once a beautiful love,
uncertain if I’ll ever be able to love like that again.
