"Not Enough"
by Eva Olivero
I feel like “I love you” isn’t enough
I would run through fire and back for you
Maybe I should act a bit more tough
But I keep on running back to you
You lift me up and tell me kind words
You praise me, I am loved
You sing me songs better than the birds
I would give you all my blood
I give you food and music and love
I give you a warm embrace
I give you my heart on a silver platter
And you stare at it with disgrace
Because to you the food was way too cold
And the water was too warm
And to me, our love is painted in flowers of gold
But to you, it’s an ugly storm
The back of your hand slaps across my face
Now my face is red
Tears fill up my eyes, I begin to cry
Over something that you said
My hands are shaking
And It feels like my earth has shattered
Your voice is loud your screaming now
And my mind is clearly scattered
Saying “I love you” isn’t enough
Or is it just not enough for you
I wish your hand would graze me gently
Because that would be something new
This isn’t love, I realize now
My heart should have not been yours
So I stabbed you in the heart
Now there is blood on my hands
And our love is torn
I smile a large grin
And my heart is tough
Because saying “I love you” just wasn’t enough
