Good Enough For You

I kept hoping that you would change
and see the little good I saw in myself
I risked it all for you but still
I was never good enough for you
Now I constantly drown in a pool of regrets
and agony
Part of me still waits for your return
Even after all this years 
I can't help but think
Why I wasn't good enough for you
I have loved you on days when I haven't loved myself
 and I think that's precisely where the problem began
My Only wish is to be good enough for you.
Was I not a good friend to you

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.
