It wasn't enough

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

It wasn't enough. Our minutes were countless and our hands never went unclasped Many times I found you there, wrapped safely in the palm of my heart. When the evening twilight surfaced and the stars found home in a wish, There I sought you, rendering your promise with the gleam of your eyes into mine. Because of you, my life made sense my insecurities had flown my troubles so minor my smiles came easy and my cup was finally full. In case it never mattered, If you hadn't known, You were EVERYTHING. Last night I dreamt of you again... Such a beautiful bed of roses... At the expense of the sun I awoke and once again I was anxiously in need of you. It wasn't enough. So I came for you Your doorstep felt like the gateway to heaven... Upon my entrance to what I thought would be bliss, came a very rude awakening... In the abscence of your presence, In the empty chairs and the ticking clocks, I heard panting I heard moaning I stood in the era of my hell I heard you. I knew your voice I knew your scent and I knew that the stranger that cradled you in those sheets wasn't me. Why? You were everything... everything... EVERYTHING. Now I write to tell you that my eyes have yet to dry That's what I get for 5 months of trust,hope,love and above all of these Deceit. You'll never know how hard I try to forget you. I guess it wasn't enough... You should know... You were everything. I guess it wasn't enough to be loved.This was just a dream I had about my boyfriend(kritter). He is the most faithful man I've met and I love him very much to this very day.If you all could also do me one favor. Rate this one and another poem of mine that never got rated at all, "The Way That You Bleed". Thanks. Written March 21st, 2002 © on Mar 21 2002 12:39 PM PST   10 • 0 • 1
