Never Enough

Ah! Fades another day,
And conversations begin to decay
I bid to you a serene night
Secretly wishing if you dream tonight,
It would be of me
Yes, that’s good enough for me now.

Times I lay curled against your chest
your arms secure around my waist
breaths mingle as we rest
in reality, just an empty bed
when the light awakens me in the morn
I hug myself
to remedy this growing emptiness
Is it good enough for me now?

The weight of your head
as it rests upon my lap
and bristles of your hair
tickles the palms of my hand
I hear something growl beneath my breast
Let it be good enough for now.

For it stings that it’s untrue
empty words and figments of imaginations
will not do, anymore.

Those nights I felt
your skin burn against my own
the molten puddle
that weigh against my bones
Lips untouched, yet swollen for more
words and senses, are not good enough anymore.

We are but a dream,
you and me, reaching out
through the stream of odds that separates us
realities that suffocates us
Till we burn ourselves again
vomit angry words and flimsy contempt
All because it isn’t enough.

The silent prayers for it to descend
from the altar of a tragic end
to be like the lovers I see
Lovers to claim the right to be
forever and beyond
not to be sacrificed like Juliet
or descend into a maddening spirit
Of Ophelia and Odette.
Because it would never be enough
Shamelessly until I,
claim you to be mine
for it can only be good enough true
until I purely belong to you.
