I Guess Love Isn’t Enough Anymore

I love you
Like I’ve never loved anyone

I love you
So, slowly, slowly
I let myself be vulnerable

I love you
I trusted you when you told me
It wouldn’t happen again

I love you
And it took so long to trust
I’d just barely learned
Then you broke it again

You broke me.

I want to be mad, but I’m not
I don’t want to be mad, but I am

How could you?

You say you love me
More than you’ve ever loved anyone else
And I believed you
I believe you
I will believe you

I love you
But I don’t understand
How can you leave someone you love

Are you broken too?
Are you lonely too?
Are you being eaten away from the inside
Because you gave your soul to someone
And they gave it back?
Twice.

Twice you broke me.
Twice you left me.
Twice you stopped trying.

I love you
And you love me
Why isn’t it enough?
Why can’t I trust you?

Your best friend asked me if I’m ok today.
You didn’t. Why?

I can’t do this again.
I want to but I can’t.
I can’t but I want to.

I love you
But how could I ever believe you again?
You say you didn’t want this to happen
I believe you
But I never saw you try
Why?

I love you.
And you love me.
Apparently that’s not enough anymore.
