Not Enough

It is so I'm not rich with no money to burn It is true I have no assets or profits to turn It is only all of me I have to offer and give It is with this though you could not live It is then I was told that it is not enough It is what made wanting to go on pretty tough It is in those words causing such hauntings untold It is not enough shattered my heart and crushed my soul It is not enough to hear what you had to say It is even worse letting you go as you walk away It is still in the shattered pieces of my heart you know It is there my love for you that will truly never let go

Scarlett, some lovers are so fickle. Their affections stop on a dime. If someone doesn't feel having you is "enough," they don't deserve you. I can relate to the power in your words and hope you are not going through this pain right now. Love, Carolyn
