not enough

 

I....

Loved.....

you.......

But it must not have been enough,

not enough for you

you left

me

alone

but whats worse

is you left

our children

without a mother

we could have figured something out

why did you leave them?

they need you

they love you

now i have to pick up the pieces

of their broken hearts

and the last thing you said was

" they were mistakes"

you...

you broke them

they cry themselves to sleep at night because of you

why didn't you stay, if not for me, then for the children

they miss you

I miss you

but we weren't enough

no....

not enough..

we never were, were we?

you could have at least

said goodbye

give them hugs and kisses,

but no

you wanted the last thing

the last thing they remember about you

to be that you left, coldly.

they miss their mom

they still love their mom

why did you take their mother away from them?

they just want to know..

if it was their fault

they just want to know..

why you left

and now ....

i have to explain to them

that you left because of me..

you left

because of them...

People just do things for selfish reasons. To sacrifice seems to be the hardest thing to do. But, don't little sacrifices make love grow? If it's happiness one seeks, love has it. Sacrifice is the key. After all, all relationships do have hard times. If one still thinks only of himself, then, i say, nothing is quite enough.

That must have been a wrenching write. I was so solid in human emotion..raw. the poem is raw and powerful. Thanks for sharing. Barb
