Not Enough

Why isn't my best good enough for you? Why is my love just too much for you? I keep fighting, attempting to make us work Because I sincerely believe that our love owns worth. I see myself with no one but you. Everyday with you always seems so new But I feel like I'm alone in this fight, Fighting with all I have, with all my might. I have no idea where we went wrong; I feel that with you is where my heart belongs. I want you to want me the way I do you, To reciprocate my love, so pure, so true. For whatever reason, you just don't want me When you talk about leaving, it makes my heart bleed. Please love me; I beg you to not let me go You walking out on me would be a terrible blow. I cannot accept your need to leave me I love you so much, please believe me. Uncontrolled tears because my heart has been broken Like I'm just a game and you ran out of tokens. The hurt in my chest is painfully overwhelming Despair and hopelessness have found a new dwelling. It hurts to see you just stroll out of my life. It cuts through me mercilessly like a serrated knife. I have no more fight inside of my spirit No matter how I pleaded, you wasn't trying to hear it. I guess I'll love once more, but I'm not sure where to begin And I am uncertain if I have enough left to love again.
