When Love is Not Enough

When you give everything you've got and it's never enough.
When you spend and you spend and it's not the right stuff.
When you prioritize someone else's needs and you're left needing you.
When you have nothing more to give and your heart aches from the chill.
I can't fill your cup because you have no intention of filling it yourself and my cup can overflow for only so long.
My happy isn't yours and I can't paint, write or sing that for you, you have to find your own.
I can throw you as many parties as I can muster, sit through as many visits as there is, drive as many boomerang journeys, fill your house with stuffed animals and clean as many nooks and crannies as I can find... but the truth is, you don't love me or you don't know how to love.
And at this point, after being abandoned in almost every time of need, I have to accept the fact that you will never be for me or for us.
My heart is broken and my mind is telling in the denial I've sat with my faith and hope that my love could be enough for you, for us.
But the truth is, right now, it's only enough for me.

-E.J.Radford
