I Have Gone Far Enough

Folder: 
2001 Poetry

I go out of my way,

to make you happy.

Only to have you shove me down

with your hurtful words.

I have gone far enough.

~

I bend over backwards,

to try and get you to accept me.

Only to have you tell me,

that nothing I do is right.

I have gone far enough.

~

I get down on my hands and knees,

pleading for forgiveness.

Only to be un-forgiven

for a crime I never committed.

I have gone far enough.

~

I tried to get you to love me,

but I will try no more.

Only for you to say,

that I have given up.

But I have gone far enough.
