How do I balance English with another language?

Whenever I start learning a new language, I gradually start to forget my English. Words start to fly out of my brain one by one, and by the time I start to gain even the slightest fluency in the other language my speech and writing in English becomes extremely crude. It took me quite a while to regain what I've lost, and since then I've been pretty scared to take it on again, mainly because I love to read poems and write. Any suggestions on how I can balance my own language with another?
