when love isn't enough
Can we get your mind over the matter?
Lets clear your mind of the clutter,
Sit down,
Talk to me,
Look at me,
What is it?
Say it all,
I am listening.
its more than your work,
I know its another woman,
I won't bother to ask,
If she is fairer?
If her bosom made of gold?
I don't want to know.
Is she the reason,
You my lover
have suddenly become cold?
Grave cold.
Look at me,
Listen,
Don't let your eyes flutter,
Who is this Jolene?
That has turned your heart and eyes from me,
Where did I miss it?
Was it something I said?
Was it something I did?
or the things I left unsaid?
No, never!
I will not strip on the streets,
or exchange vile words with another,
To win back your heart,
or prove my love,
I know my worth,
Summon reason,
Think deeply,
And burn your lustful pangs of hunger,
Before you stray further,
let me warn you,
I'm not like the father of the prodigal,
Waiting and hoping,
Crying and praying,
I'll be long gone before
your return,
Too far away to hear your pleading call,
I would have given up on you; on us,
And moved on,
knowing fully well,
sometimes love is not enough.

Love is really not enough. True words
where did you get that beyonce song?
omehemi apart from the fact that you write really moving poems its like you wrote about me.
good work
it's definitely not enough. There are so many other parameters involved.
Be Strong!
Nice one there babes
Jolene ke? Are you Dolly Parton in disguise?
I am sitting...
I am listening...
But I am tired...
so..so tired
Of your constant nagging
And your constant whining
Its all your work
Its not another woman
It has always been you
only you
How can I not be cold?
Grave cold...
When your embraces..
are sometimes as warm as death.
Before Jolene...
You created Josephine..
Imagined Selene..
And dreamt up Irene
I hope your are long gone
before I return...
Sometimes love is not enough...
You need a little trust as well.

Shut you liar,
Yes, you are sitting,
but not still,
Your guilty lips keep quivering,
So my imagination was the red lipstick on your shirt?
Or the dirty underwear I found in your drawer.
Don't come begging
like you did before,
I have had enough.
And this is goodbye,
Once and for all.

Well said, sometimes you really do question what is enough?
At times you think you have hit the mark and voila it misses! And you try again and again and again. At some point you really stop trying and give up.. Okay I am reminiscing here,but seriously nice one, stop by okay!
