Never enough

Poetry: Heave my tender heart.

Article by : SpunOut.ie

Never enough, or

 

Maybe not

 

What you need, or want

 

I give

 

You pause

 

Indecision like a record caught

 

A CD skipping

 

My heart gripping

 

Vulnerable, unsure

 

Want to give you more...

 

Reality check:

 

What about me?

 

 

 

They say people give what they want

 

Dish out what they crave

 

We're all wounded soldiers

 

Praying to be saved

 

I won't get down on my knees

 

Won't beckon to your call

 

If you really loved me,

 

Wouldn't need to say anything at all

 

You'd hold my head

 

Before it fell

 

Make me smile

 

Before I cry

 

But I'm sitting here alone

 

And I wonder - why?

 

Why do I hoist my affection

 

Heave my tender heart

 

The art of self-destruction?

 

Wreckless from the start

 

I massage your discomforts

 

Try to soothe, try to please

 

Exporting my love

 

Any imports to receive?

 

 

 

I want love like a festival

 

Big, lively and wild

 

Not careful and complicated

 

A difficult child

 

No tiptoeing, never a 'shush'

 

Dancing and a rush

 

Want to prance around naked

 

Not be told to get dressed

 

Want to sing you my songs

 

Laughter, you're so unimpressed

 

This is me

 

But it never seems enough

 

I'm patient and persistent

 

Don't think I'm so tough

 

Waiting and hoping, you'll give in

 

Let go, leave behind

 

Thoughts rattling your troubled mind

 

Every second you hesitate

 

Is like a minute without breath

 

Weakening, panicking

 

I refuse this death.
