Love Is Not Enough

Losing you
is like a death
hard
to let go
of
the past
and
never agains
the future
and
never wills

I let you become
my everything
my world was
of your love
for me

you
were the air
I breathed
the water
I drank
the food
I ate
the shelter
I needed

I hate
how much
I love you
I can see
in your eyes
feel
in your embrace
the person
you long to be
and
it tricks me
into believing
that’s who you are

but you’re not

my hope
for you
is no longer
enough
to endure
the hurt

it’s become
too much
for my heart
to bear
the
resentment
that
resides inside

your words
will never
be enough
to override
your lack
of
actions

you failed
me
and now
you
must
go
