I'm Not Enough

by Nick Kreiner - Sagittarius

I'm not Enough

I work with you to get you through
We work together, we fight the memories, but he still haunts you
I keep my secret, unknowing what it could mean
You cry and I hold you
I wipe your tears to help you through

I'm slipping now My purpose diluted but I stay
I work to help you through
You get better only to see him again and our work
The work we've done together seems non existant

I cant hold on anymore. My life it seems to be slipping
It teeters on the edge of madness but I try
I try to help you through

I watch you get better and find myself having to hold you less often
We're almost through
I get my hopes up in the event I've waited for.

You smile more often now and we're closer than ever before
But the saddness comes for me worse than ever
I rarely see you anymore. It seems there no easy way of seeing you 
though

So I drop. I find myself gone from my happy place
You're not with me anymore and it kills me
I never got the chance to tell you.
I love you
But it doesn't matter anymore. You're all fixed up now.
I've helped you through.
