love is not enough
by Vere Mantratriadyou told me once
you were afraid
I'd end up hating you
and I've tried
oh, how I've tried
but in the end
I just want you
to be okay
whether or not
it's ever with me 05/15/2006 Author's Note: nine inch nails:
"the closer we think we are
well, it only got us so far
now you got anything left to show?
no, no I didn't think so
the sooner we realize
we cover ourselves with lies
but underneath we're not so tough
and love is not enough"
for r.

| Posted by Maureen Glaude on 05/15/06 at 08:00 PM that all-too familiar stage of reaching closure and acceptance and still loving enough to wish peace and well-being. Beautiful. |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 05/16/06 at 01:02 AM Maximum impact for just a few lines. Brutally honest, lucid...creating a strange kind of euphoria in its determination. Touché! |

| Posted by Christel Crews on 05/16/06 at 05:19 AM you know, when you love someone and they walk away, it can be impossible to hate them, even when we try! love, real love, embeds deep into our hearts |
| Posted by Junemarie Roldan on 07/03/06 at 08:20 AM Don't know if you ever heard this song by Patti Smyth, 'Sometimes love just ain't enough.'Came out in '92. 14 yrs.later, I still cry when I hear it. I recognized the truth of it then. I still do. Anyone who doesn't is setting themselves up for a fall. Another work of yours so beautifully expressed. |
