When Love Is Not Enough

To love is not enough 
When I know not who you are
To love is not enough 
When your touches only hurt
To love is not enough
When you say you love and
Your actions tells me different
To love is not enough
When there is love on your face and
The passion is not there
To love is not enough 
When love is not in you and
I have not reached your heart
