Not Enough

by Lizzard/Aries-Cancer-Pisces - Not entered

You love too much,
Or not enough
To stifle the pain
Inside

I'd melt the ice
Around your heart
Only to be
Denied

I swallowed it all
To hold it down
With shattered bottles 
Below

Now, every time 
I see you
You barely wave
Hello

Tangle with 
Deception
While you tango with
Me

Spun around -
My webbed mosquito
Black widow
Enemy

I wrap you in
The silky thread
Of veiled 
Superstition

And suffer from
Your guilty words
And glancing
Admonition

It hurts to love too much
I'm numb
For want of
Enough

The jagged tears
On my heart
Leave the edges
Rough

I love too much
Or not enough
To make you feel
Good

I stroke your ego
Then cry later
When I'm
Misunderstood

My heart
Makes me strong
For the pain that I will
Feel

When I see
What I saw in you
Wasn't even
Real

I love too much 
Or not enough
To stand
The things you do

I love too much
Or not enough
To remain
In love with you
