Not Enough
Truth filtered through a screen of crystal blue eyes
Your soul engulfed by a prison of insecurity and rage
With hands of tenderness you embrace me and choke my spirit
The life that we once shared now is mysteriously hidden beneath the surface
Lost to the emotion and passions that once bound us
I am too afraid to walk away yet I am too tired to stay
Lacking faith in myself and longing to satisfy your desires, I pray…
Wanting to be free with you, uninhibited, yet I am afraid to be vulnerable
I cry in silence and throughout the night I am lonely for you
My trust shattered, feelings bruised, light dimmed, and heart broken, I continue...
Moving slowly, tiptoeing, careful to avoid the traps set before me
I search for answers only to come up empty
You say I am everything to you, all you could want or need
Yet somehow I am not enough
