Not Enough
It's as if i am drugged
My body shut down
Only my heart beating to feelings welling inside me
The tears seem to flow without effort
Dampening the world around me
Its cloudy and unclear
Empty and unreal
If i hide myself, Might be i can still fare
Numb myself so this pain I can bear
My dreams are tinted with your memories
Your scent follows me if i run
Should i fight or should i give up?
Silent screams weaken me, put me in a spell
Missing what i never had must be a special kind of hell
I take a sigh, I try to be brave,
I tell myself there's still hope at heavens gate
Till then i shall live with this...
I wasnt enough, i knew it too late
Broken souls cant heal others - I leave it to fate
