Never Enough

You're in my head and I want you to leave... but a little part of me wants you to stay and tell me that I could be good enough

I can’t get you out of my head,

Waltzing around with my thoughts,

Stirring the fear deep within my heart,

Bringing back that desire I’d thought lost,

 

Eyes twinkling like they were that night,

Unaware of the impression you’re leaving,

Asking silly questions and watching the answer,

Tumble from my fingers without a thought,

 

Barely knowing the other we keep,

Coming back for a little more on the Sunday,

My turn, your turn, it keeps going,

Until one day, it will surely stop, it always does,

 

Never knowing the thoughts in your mind,

Wanting to hold your hand and find out,

What comes after the easy questions,

Will we like what we find behind the curtains,

 

Standing in a piece of my past, I fear,

I am no longer good enough to be someone,

You dream to have and to hold forever,

So I stand here holding the other shoe.

I think this is a place that many of us understand. A lovely relatable poem, much enjoyed. Thanks for sharing WillaDanvers. Nicely expressed with a good flow to the lines.

Wow, I don't know what grabbed me more, your intro to the poem or the poem itself but in both cases I get where this is coming from and know this feeling too well.

Thank you Willweb - I believe we all get this feeling at some point but it's never a nice one. Hopefully in reading others struggles, we can help and avoid the feeling in future!
