I'M Sorry I Wasn'T Enough To Make You Stay
I'm sorry I wasn't enough to make you stay,
I'm sorry that you got bored so soon.
I know, I wasn't expecting it either.
I tried to be the enough, I really did.
I did my skincare, even if it took at least two hours,
I did my haircare, even if it took all my strength just to stay awake.
I combed my hair until I fell asleep so it would look slick and clean.
I tried to be as perfect as I could,
Maybe it was because I couldn't call that one night,
Maybe it was because of instead of talking about how I felt when you ghosted me,
I cried in my room instead.
In my bed I was wondering why I wasn't enough for you.
I wondered what I did to anger you,
I knew you were going to leave, I just didn't know when.
And... then you left,
My entire world turned gray,
Lightning replaced the white-fluffy clouds.
Life had seemed to lose all purpose,
Out of all this, the true you seemed to surface.
I loved you, I really did.
And I still do,
Even enough to want to love me too.
