I Love You Too Much Not To Love You Enough
POEM " I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH NOT TO LOVE YOU ENOUGH " by martin gedge
There is a smile on my face and a tear in my heart
the moment that you walked away in the dark
not a word that was spoken just the silence of air
running round all the circles in my head of despair
in the shadow of fear when you sent me your love
to live with that feeling when It wasn't enough
a man made of measure with a hope and the dream
with the sense and a purpose on a balancing beam
whether jealous or jaded all it faded in kind
just to hold you and kiss you when It felt like a crime
I knew in my soul where the hole made me feel
that I couldn't fulfill a commitment and seal
to a step in the future and a walk in the light
by the sunshine of morning under skyline at night
always tempted by jury in the eyes of the court
when still building up fences when I lived in a fort
It was better to leave you then to promise and keep
then to live in emotion that was never concrete
I could say that I'm sorry while still kicking the can
But to live like a fool would make me less of a man
with my faith in the truth with my heart on my sleeve
for I can"t live I lie leading all to believe
that life is just perfect and you fit like a glove
that I love you too much not to love you enough...
