Never Good Enough

All of me was never enough to make you happy,

You made me try and then said you were not ready,

Even though I changed everything I knew about myself,

You said I was never was gonna be good enough.

Not good enough to make you smile,

Your adoring eyes, now clouded and hostile,

You were my desire, my dream,

Now I just wish I could find the strength to scream.

Not good enough to hold your hand,

Yet I stand and your hate I withstand,

I stand and all you do is push me away harder,

Why do I even bother?

Not good enough to hold you in my arms and kiss you,

Yet I pray to have my dream come true,

I am standing right here, look at me,

Tell me my fault, why you say, together, we will never be.

Clutching the pieces of my broken heart, I walked away,

For your happiness, I decided I shall not stay,

You never looked back at me as I drifted into the shadows,

Of my name, I vowed you shall not hear any echoes.

One day you will see me with another,

Happy and smiling, as a husband and a father.

Then you will open your eyes and see, my love, I was more than good enough.
