No matter how hard we try.
Sometimes love just isn't enough.
I could feel the magic coming to an end.
I didn't want it to.
I pulled you closer as if I was trying to pull you inside of me.
No matter how hard we try.
Sometimes love just isn't enough.
My tears began to fall.
Slowly at first.
As reality set in the floodgates opened.
Never again would I be locked in your arms.
The end had come and there was nothing I could do.
No matter how hard we try.
Sometimes love just isn't enough.
I tried to step back.
You wouldn't let me.
I tried again.
"Stay." you whispered.
"I can't. They are waiting for me." I cried quietly.
"It's always them." you sneered as you released me.
I turned and ran from you, tears streaming from my face, and sobs ripping from my soul.
You would never understand them, nor they you.
I was caught in the middle with no way to break free.
My choices were made for me long before I ever saw your face.
You hold my heart, but they hold my soul.
No matter how hard we try.
Sometimes love just isn't enough.
As I reached them I looked back at you.
Your eyes had gone cold.
You looked at me with something close to hatred flashing behind them.
Why couldn't you understand?
This was one of those times where love just wasn't enough.
