is it, though?

sometimes

love just isn’t enough

and that really fucking sucks

such an emotion gets too

much credit for what 

it is and isn’t able to do

love won’t stop a bullet

can’t hold back a knife

from opening up skin

like a second mouth

won’t stop you from leaving

and that’s the thing isn’t it?

love won’t always be enough

and god knows

i wish it were

with all of my being

i think we deserve a

happy ending, lover

don’t you?

i want an ending

that doesn’t leave me

with an ache

with a rawness that i

have yet to discover how to

keep from festering

and i loved her

and i loved him

and i love you

so much it left a mark

but that just wasn’t enough

and there is only so

much of me

of my love

i can give before i’ve

finally been hollowed out

i don’t think my love

will be enough

even then, lover

and that’s something

i’ll just have to

learn to

live with 

but right now

it really fucking hurts
