Why Can't?

Why Can't?

Here it comes again
I can't control what I am feeling
lost myself to my habits
I am a slave to the addictions I crave
and in a spilt second
in a snap of fingers
I find my place taken
I find your place vacant
why can't there ever be enough?
enough love
enough hope
minimal damage
minimal flaws
why does the things we want the most
always seem to fall short?

I am trying to see you
on the other side of my demons
I am waiting for the other shoe to drop
I am bracing for a ugly outcome
I see the the ties that binded us
are coming undone....
here I am
sitting head in hands all alone
because why can't there ever be enough?
enough love
enough hope
minimal damage
minimal flaws
why does the things we want the most
always seem to fall short?
