Me Is Never Enough

The man of her dreams possesses
a million things I haven't got.

I won't waste my time or energy
pretending I'm someone I am not.

At some point she realized I didn't
have anything to give her except me.

At that time she suddenly remembered
her overwhelming desire to be free.

I'm with SVEN on that one...  says all you need to know about her, if you ask me.

So much truth and sorrow in these lines James ... but if we can't be ourselves, then in the end ... it is not enough for "us".

Beautiful phrasing in this piece, very well done.  

Best wishes,

This is so sad, but you know, you ARE enough, she is just not seeing it. So therefore the one who will see it, must still be waiting in the wings. Great portrayal of this feeling.
Peace
