When is Enough

(07 July 2016)

Oh 5:45 AM what have you done to me? Another sleepless, dreamless.....

Did I try hard enough, did I fight long enough, did I ask "why" loud enough

Am I enough.

Did I fail us? In the trial I lied and what on earth was I thinking....

I made sure we kept sinking....

You tied up your saddle and ran from the battle as soon as the fight looked rough

I tried to dismantle this torturous, grappling lust

It wasn't enough.

And come from the mantle, knees dark from the ground and dust

Look up and what I see is the ceiling, where's this light, they said "trust"

Stumble without a crutch

Careful to flee the terrible scene, we parted our merry way

One off to the stables and I'm off to label the things I have lost

See that I'm able, you could have cared a little...more

But my heart is nailed to the floor.

And half of the me she tearfully believed, learned my words were not enough

And half of the me I have left of me says "don't start giving up."

Maybe I need to learn when enough is enough.
