Enough Is Enough

There’s got to be a point Where enough is enough You’d think a girl Who grew up so young Seen things Felt things No little girl Should ever experience A life without a mother’s love A father’s acceptance A love that was forcefully taken A husband without the will To fight for what was left Cursed with a body That just falls apart Pain is nothing new If you remove parts of her Does that mean That she’s still a woman? There’s got to be a point Where enough is enough A heart can only break So many times right? In so many pieces To the point of no return To wholeness If you take and take Till there’s nothing left Does that mean there’s relief? Will you be the one That takes what little is left From hands held out Will this be the one thing That makes a shattered heart Turn to ashes To blow away In the slightest of breezes Then and only then Will enough be enough.
