Good Enough

I gave all I had
but it was never enough
and the time came for me to say
enough was enough

Dreams of perfection died
in my arms one night
There was no resurrection
for you and I

You clung
and I ran
Now I stand here
on the outskirts of love

I danced away from you
and tucked the pretty pieces
I remembered
in my pocket

Laid them away in my heart
in a hidden locket
tarnished brown
for lack of enough

I gave all I had
but it was never enough
and the time came for me to say
enough was enough

Today I stand in love
Love that breathes my name
and says you ARE good enough
You ARE loved

I fished the locket from my heart
and Love, with its light
polished the tarnish away
made it shiny and bright

The rain has come to an end
and I see the sun in the sky
And I believe that I
am good enough…good enough…
