Not Enough
He said he was sorry
but love just wasn't enough
he said you were the sweetest
most caring person
he's ever known
regret rules his mind now
he ruined every chance he had
with her
but love just wasn't enough
He can't make all the things he's done
go away
He loves you
and one day he hopes
that you'll truly forgive him
but love just wasn't enough
He didn't want to you struggle
life is hard enough
you were more than just a crutch to lean on
and more than the back up
he doesn't know what to do
or how to make it right
but love just wasn't enough
he's not going to be the way he was
depression anguish fear and shame
will be his constant companions
he loves her
and she loves him
but its not enough
and he doesn't know what to do
Rejection
I want so much to be wanted
I need you to need me
like i need your touch
send my body into heaven
Yet i come back alive
the memories of the times we've shared
alone naked vulnerable
i gave myself to you
my trust my life
and now i'm afraid of being rejected
i can't figure out how you feel about me
i've cried once over rejection
cried my heart out
and sobbed till i had to pull over
and let the bout of self pity run its course
the mark you've left on me is obvious
i've become something i once hated
and secretly wanted for myself.
but how have i marked you
only true friends leave foot prints across the heart
you seem to be the same as when i first meet you
you rise to the challenge
yet i question the motives behind your actions
perhaps i'm just losing the innocence i once had
or maybe you've hurt me to the point where i am careful
where i tread.
though you had no ties to me
and i have no real reason to be bothered
if i wanted i could say you cheated
but that would mean that i cared
and i try so hard to be indiferent
but i'm scared of being rejected.
