Collection of Poetry - 3. Love Is Not Enough

Love is not Enough

Why, love, why?
I gave so much, and took so little
I looked into those eyes,
and I saw love

I saw love,
and I thought it was enough
I was wrong

You have no idea what it’s like
to know that love isn’t everything
I wanted ‘us’ to work, but you just wanted ‘you’
You tried, you really did
But sometimes your best just isn’t good enough

I grew tired of waiting,
Of waiting for selflessness
Of waiting for a surprise on my pillow
Of waiting for your shoulder to cry on at 3 in the morning

I grew tired of your lack of perspective
When is Valentine’s day?
Our anniversary?
My birthday?
You don’t know, but you still love me

I need more than love to keep me going
I need a friend, a partner, a lover
I need someone who will be there for me
It was a choice between you and me
I chose me

I still love you
But I had to leave
You couldn’t be who I needed you to be
Your face haunts my dreams
and I weep for our lost love
But love wasn’t a good enough reason to stay
