Love Wasn't Enough
The only thing I could think of
The only thing that existed
In my mind
I wanted to make it work
So bad
I wanted you to love me
I wanted that love in return
Everyday
Trying my hardest
Loving you the best way
I could
Each and every moment
Seemed like they lasted
A million years
The silence
Deafening
The obsession in me
Continued to ache in my stomache
As I waited
Patiently
For years
To receive what I believed
Was mine
What I deserved
And as hard as I tried
Nothing worked
No love
Only pain
Masked every part of me
It covered me
A disease that crept into my veins
Numbing me to extinction
I wanted to claim what was mine
I fought long and hard
Grasping at any hint of love I could find
But in return
There was no love to be found
Only sadness and regrets
My love wasn't enough
To save you from yourself
That was the hardest truth to accept
The hardest truth that was masked
In my blurred mind
