Love isn't enough

I hold back these tears everyday
they hurt so much in ever way
my love burns hollow agony
guilt forever builds within me

i scream so hard, my throat is raw
i beckon to you, heed my call
my love, it overwhelms at times
what have i done to what was mine?

surrender to my open arms
just to allow this relentless harm
please forgive me for what I've done
i thought you were my only one

bittersweet melody of our endless tryst
love and reality doesn't seem to mix
reckless emotion controls my every action
insistent tragedy seems my attraction

why couldn't what we had be enough
i needed passion, lust, ardently touched
with sweet words and romantic dreams
love never is what it seems

immortality seems sensationally grand
next to my romeo i would forever stand
but through time, perfection fades
when life is lived the same everyday

i once held your heart in my very own
now ripped out and carelessly thrown
without it, maddening pain over takes
to the very point my soul shall break

oh god, i wish for this to go away
this lingering love for what was yesterday
no matter how we tried, or the unbroken trust
sometimes love, just isn't enough
