Love Isn't Enough

Even as I said it
I sensed my body shift
My belief system altered
For a brief moment
An outer body experience
The words lingered
As if spoken in slow motion
That statement
So surreal & yet was my reality
I never thought I'd say it
"Love, love just isn't enough"

And after I said it
My heart dropped to my feet
I saw myself outside of myself
Asking myself "who are you, right now?"
My love for love was let down
That one statement stopped my mind for a moment

Has it become that complex?
Has the impact of love ceased to amaze me?
Love isn't enough to do the unthinkable?
Love isn't enough...for what?

I'd succumb to the pressures of change
The idea that love is & can be controlled
The idea that any moment it can be removed
Knowing that if I love, it's unconditional
My love exists, even long after my lover has abandoned me & it

So for that moment
I had a moment
My heart was broken, in between those words
A public cry out for help
Until I, within a blink of an eye
Ran for cover & closed the door

I lost my faith in love...for just one moment.
