It's Nearly Never Enough

Never to finish, never to strive
Never wanting to keep love alive
It's never enough…

Losing the battle of jobs with dead ends
Feeling the frustrating boredom it sends
It's never enough…

Placating others in bent compromise
The need to act normal to cover the lies
It's never enough…

Sending out messages-verbally blessed
Coming in second-but never quite best
It's never enough…

Playing and staying ahead of the game
Every day different, yet always the same
It's never enough…

The taking and making of love and the lust
Missing and void of the bond of a trust
It's never enough…

Coming to climax-repeating the scream
Selfish brute carnage producing the cream
It's never enough…

Waiting and wondering-wanting to die
Giving up living without knowing why
It's never enough…

Providing, protecting, prepared for the worst
Flushed with rich liquids yet dying of thirst
It's never enough…

Hurry! Come quickly and look in the mirror!
So handsome today but so filled with the fear
It's never enough…

Hearing the beat of the heart growing stronger
Quickening its pace for a little while longer
It's never enough…

Will me to kill me to help make it better
Lead me and plead me to leave a sad letter
It's never enough…

Tomorrow brings more of the hope for a day
Come kiss it softly and do as I say
It's never enough…

Do all you do and always be true to me
Bring me your best as I know how it use to be
It's never enough…

Hands filled with trembling, and feeling the rhythm
Body decaying and leaving this prison
It's never enough…

Eyes opened wide awestruck by the majesty
Leaving this earth with it's patterns of tragedy
It's never enough…

Falling to heaven as now I surrender
Heart, mind, and soul on loan from the lender
It's enough
