Love Wasn't Enough

Love wasn't enough.

It couldn't pay our rent.

Love wasn't enough.

After all the years we've spent.

After all and all I thought we'd pull through.

Until I got a better look at you.

Love wasn't enough.

But I still held onto.

Lying to myself.

All of our water color has bleed through.

Love wasn't enough.

In this ugly world I ran toward you.

You illuminated space,

that's always been you're way.

First few months flew by.

Already the stupidest things made me cry.

Why didn't I see?

We were not meant to be.

Love wasn't enough.

I'd wake up early to stand in the bread-line.

Love wasn't enough.

How could we have possibly survived?

The fairy tale is lost on me.

Because in "True Love" I don't believe.

I just sit and crochete the world away.

I'm too scared to face the day.

But I had to go away.

I'm not sorry,

that i'd had to happen this way.

Love wasn't enough.

You know it doesn't make the world go round.

Love wasn't enough.

How empty the ticking of the clock sounds.

I took a stand and i'm on my way.

I just couldn't live that way.

Love wasn't enough.

It never will be.

great writing gift

How many millions are being driven apart by the poverty created by violent illegal wars

.... In my humble opinion all of us could say "not enough love"
because which of us is totally unconditional in loving?

You have a great writing gift and make others think
