Enough (11/18/14)

Walk in slamming the door,
Another day your heart grows colder.
I take the words you hit me with,
As if I deserve every punch.

Where flames once danced around us,
Now lie ashes.
The fire died long ago,
Took you with it.

I can’t take the headaches
I can’t sleep at night
I can’t stand the way my heart breaks
Every time we fight
Am I not enough?
Good enough, smart enough, hot enough for you?
I am not enough.

I’m not cleaning up spills I didn’t make,
Taking the blame for all the mistakes.
Rubbing alcohol on skinned knees
I’m sick of you always pushing me.

I’m done draining myself to please you.
I’m done lying to myself we’ll be okay.
I’m giving up on this thing we called love,
It’s time one of us walks away.

There are no more headaches,
I’m sleeping better at night.
My heart is no longer breaking,
There are no more fights.
I don’t have to be enough.
Good enough, smart enough, hot enough for you,
I am enough for me.

Feedback anyone?

F@€king love it!It sounds dangerous and bold........it stomps right off the page!Yay!

Oh YES: This is a Great Far From Selflamenting Piece of Rhythmic Poetry which easily can be made into a raw, tough song.
Hear them guitars weep, hear them drums support it,
hear them come out a winner, yelling: I DID IT!
Definiitely knocked me out. Thanks!

WOW! Two of my favorite people Thank you SO much!

This reads like a conversation I had with my ex just today.

Very impressive, Kerri! As everyone else has said, this is a very epic, bold piece. It grabs you from the start and stomps on you until it's over!

Jim, I guess she's your ex for a reason then!

JJCory, thank you so much! Good to hear from you
