sometimes love
is not magic
and sometimes love
is not enough
despite the aches
despite the pains
despite the fact
you still need him
sometimes love
is simply not enough
and it will tear you apart
no matter how strong you think you are
and leave you breathless
like the midnight cigarette
when you can feel the cancer
growing in your chest
and it feels like you are drowning
in your own misery
sometimes love
will never be enough on its own
