Am I not enough?
You used to
Cradle me when I was young
You used to whisper in my ear when I had a nightmare
And
Stroke my hair and bandage me up when I cut myself on the harsh reality of life
You were enough
There was a time
You couldn't get enough
Of the way I felt when you wrapped your arms around me
You wanted to stay that way
But you said go, and I did
Time passed
And I missed the way you felt
You did not
But you were still enough
I was precious
Like a diamond
Moulded over time by you
And strong because of what you made me
But over time I became weak
I needed you
But I was no longer your diamond
I was no longer strong like you wanted me to be
That hurt you
But you were still enough
Then it came
The summer that broke us all
It broke you
You never were the same
Your touch felt nothing alike the one I felt as a child
You were
A stranger. As alien and cold as a fresh layer of snow
You were still a diamond, despite your cracks
I was not
You could never treat me the same
Because I am no longer the one you bandaged and stroked
I can never be fixed
Because you were always enough
And I can't help but wonder
Am I not enough?
