Not Enough

A Keats Sonnet

My eyes are trapped
Trapped looking at you, a stranger
I want to go back to not knowing you at all

Many years i have spent in a box, wrapped
Unaware of a great many dangers
Not knowing, my worst pain will be you

You picked me up, you let me fall
You came, and i was unwrapped
And surrendered me to a ranger

To the floor you shoved me, made me crawl
You used to make me feel shiny and new
Made me believe in all kids-stuff

Among all, why did it have to be you?
All my love wasn't enough!

This reminds me of Denise Levertov's "Adam's Complaint". Sadly, nothing seems enough----even love. I enjoyed this.
