Enough
I used to think that I was enough for you.
And I used to think that if you truly cared the way you said you did, you wouldn't have made me feel as though I wasn't enough.
But I guess I was wrong because here I am with tear stained cheeks wondering what more I could have done.
Maybe if I wouldn't have been scared to let you in, I would have been enough.
But I did let you in.
I almost said I loved you.
Right as you tore through my last wall you left.
Abandoning me.
Leaving me vulnerable.
I don't build these walls to shut people out, but that's what they do.
I build these walls to protect myself from this cruel world.
And now I see why these walls have never been torn down before.
Because I wouldn't let them fall.
But I let them fall with you.
And as I sit here, upon the ruins of these walls, I realize that I am enough... just maybe not to you
