I won't be enough
I can feel the end already
I can see the uncertainty floating around inside
I can sense the coming disinterest in his voice
I can see the looming dissatisfaction in his eyes
I can feel the doubt planting itself firmly in the back of his mind
He might hold on for comfort or convenience
He might drag it out until there aren't any excuses to stay
And the emptiness and disappointment I bring him will become impossible to deny
I'll sit beside him with knots in my stomach, as uneasy thoughts riddle my mind
I'll shake and cry and wonder if I'll ever be enough
I'll be angry at myself and my lack of appeal
My neediness will consume the space between us
Until theres only tension left
And our minds won't be sharp enough to cut it
We'll be dull and wasted
And we'll wonder where things went wrong
When we both knew it all along
That I was never going to be enough

Depression readily lurks
in the shadows of my mind

Waiting to strangle hope
whom my heart dares to find

And every Phoenix must burn
Before it can rise from the ashes

Time takes my hand
And gently brings me to my feet
It watches as I stumble
It teaches me to speak

Time watches me grow to an adult
From a child
It takes a step back and once again sees me stumble

Time grabs my hand
And roughly knocks me off my feet
It yells at me and screams
Why'd I waste it with defeat

A revolving door
That’s what this must be
A place that’s always spinning
Gathering dirt, scraping the ground
Stuck in a cycle
With doors to get out of
Doors to enter from
But nowhere to run
Addiction

You
Your lips are like velvet
Seducingly smooth
Your smile is like sunshine
Illuminating gloom
Your words are like blankets
Comfortably warm
Your touch is like water
Quenching a thirst
You are like the ocean
Encompassing, wild and strong
Caitlin Mar 2019
Your eyes tell a million stories
They speak of highs and lows
They sometimes betray your smile
But they never mistake your soul
