love is never enough

love is never enough

you should know that

but you haven't had that lesson

i am not imposing condescension

maybe we hurt the ones we love

to keep them at arm's length

it takes strength

to admit a misconception

we both have preconceptions

of what love should be

we both want a guarantee

to not be undermined

as it has taken years to build this overt

self-reliance

you show repentance

but again, your attendance

elsewhere

sorry about the blare

i do not mean to care

but i do care

i would swear

but that is just air
