Not enough to make you stay
The sun sets-
Same as yesterday
The wind blows-
Just as before
The clarity that arises-
From one once adored
When he leaves you alone-
Broken heart at the door
Tears always come-
Salty water of pain
Followed by regret-
Too mountainous to name
All the silly clichés-
Fit perfectly here
I love him-I need him-
But he’s nowhere near
Open up a vein-
To truly feel the hurt
Crawl through muddy rivers-
To appreciate the wonder
No hesitation-
Eventually it will end
And then your heart-
Will heal again
A lifetime destroyed-
In a moment or two
Or it falls into ruin-
Over years of time
Love so eroded-
Dreams shattered and then-
broken hearts never
to be mended again
If I wake up crying-
It’s only for your touch
If I still cry at night-
I miss your voice too much
I’m sorry I gave my heart-
So foolishly away
Sorry I loved you too much-
But not enough to make you stay
