Was there really enough?

I am oversaturated with a single emotion
When in truth I  really had none 
To begin with

Do I really know what is love
Or am I just blinded
To have someone 
With only me to think of 

Is timeless devotion what I feel
Or "unsought" adoration ?
Do you feel the same
Or was it just me all along?

Should I scream from the pain
You tore me up
Piece by piece
Left me on my own to collect them

And the pathways of my mind
Are forever scratched with your name
Is it really love
Have I turned blind from your pain?


Do I really mean something 
Have you thought about our  future
Or was it just me
All along
Daring to dream of us together 
Should I feel wrong?

You made me heart feel like it's back home
You  condemned my soul
To feel what it's like to be known
And at the end
You left all of it alone 

Is it okay to feel shaken
Okay to feel wronged?

I'm not really questioning us
I'm just asking
Was there really enough of us
To actually begin?
