Enough

by: Aubrey Grey

Maybe it was too soon
Maybe we weren’t cut out for one another
Maybe it wasn’t meant to be

You thought I was different, and I thought you were, too
But sometimes, thinking isn’t enough

Sometimes, it takes multiple wrongs and hundreds of mistakes
To find that what you thought was best
Was really the worst
And that what scared you the most was inevitable

Whether you were ready for this was soon questioned
And the answers he was looking for– well
You couldn’t provide

So, it fell to pieces- it was pure destruction
You didn’t have the time or will to fix it
He asked why you wanted to leave, but no answer was good enough

Nothing you did was ever good enough
Whether you fought, whether you died for him–
Never enough

So you packed your things like the fighter you are
And you left with grief and anguish in your heart

Because to someone else, taking care of yourself was selfish
Because they didn’t feel the pain and torment they caused
Because to some people, it’s never enough to love them while you’re dying

But you were strong
And you will forever be
More than enough
