I'm Not Enough

I'm not enough
for you to want me.
I’m not enough
just a voice without
a face to see.

Just a voice
to soothe you
when distraught.
Just a voice
with no purpose
other than an
afterthought.

How can I
remain as if;
a frozen heart
in your snow drift?

Guess it's not
meant to be.
Need a real man
to love me.

To be touched,
and held close
each night.
Lucky me
will one day
find Mr. Right.

I’m not enough
for you to be with
Just a voice
who has had
enough of this.

Thank you, seems like there is a bunch of us out there. Thank Gawd, I've learned to hold back, access, and move on without the pain of another breakup.

Yeh...no sense hanging around.
Best to leave when signs are
so obvious.

what a great write SS. I think sometimes this happens in our lives to teach us what we do want vs what we don't. Cheers SS to moving forwards

Haunting words. I spent most of last year, in love with someone in another country.After reading this, I think I can finally let him go,,knowing someone, somewhere, also knows too well ,how it can hurt and feel so good at the same time.I guess thats when you realize it's not meant to be.God bless you girl..and goodbye jr.

This is such an awesome write,i could feel the pain running through my veins as though it happened to me,with just the right words you created a graceful melody...You're such an elegant writer.
