poem#4
why didn’t I love you enough?

pushed past the hurt
pushed past the lies
saw an empty soul catching on fire
why didn’t I love you enough?

came out of the darkness
gave him all my light
exchanged a perfect fit for irregular
why, didn’t I love you enough?

you turned a deaf ear
when I needed you most
left me in tears, alone and hurt
why, didn’t I love you enough?

now I see what I feared so I stare at this same face
this me looking back in the mirror
and I’m asking the same question again
why didn’t I love YOU enough?
