poetry

enough

you left me for her,

she was prettier and gave you more,

but i gave you everything.

now she left,

and now i am everything you needed and wanted.

i gave you a home,

you needed to prove something to someone else,

but i already knew what you were worth.

now i watch you walk a wicked path,

lost and alone and it's not my job to help you anymore.

i thought you were my friend,

you made me miserable and full of hatred for others,

but now you spread lies of who i am.

you refuse to say your insults to my face,

for the fear of total isolation creeps up on you.

he doesn't understand like others do,

now i have to watch him struggle every day forever,

but it's my fault.

he will always try,

but never understand.

now they watch as his brilliant sister goes away,

and he is all that's left.

i don't understand why,

but i don't need reminding.

i know,

i know i'm never enough.
