Good enough

the minutes fly by

as we talk

we laugh

share tears

and joy

an idle thought

or moments of silence

the minutes turn to hours

days, weeks, months

but time an again

it'll be someone else

time and again

I'll shed endless tears

the tormented wonderings

why her and why not me

am I never good enough?

 

It is a fools game that i am partaking

and for the life of me I cannot escape

once again, again and again

I am where I am

a window pane shut close

upon the past anguish

only at times they peer through

a glass window

 

There are no blinds

for past hurts

and they sharpen when you ask

after a long hour of lighthearted chatter

do we have an understanding?

you are wary of my stubborn heart

and i think once again

why am i not good enough?

why must i stand only your ally?

forgiving, accepting, ever present, by your side

but only just beyond that line

that i must never overstep

and once again i ascertain

it must be that i am never good enough
