I’m not enough

Tell me why my first instinct is to reminisce, To stare at photos filled with memories of bliss. Each scroll weighs heavy, burdened by truth, Moments captured, now lost in youth. I wonder where I fell short? I thought you liked the way I tasted, The way I called out your name? You said my smile was your uttermost favorite, So I tried to be the happiest girl I could be. It’s a shame how long this love story lasted, Because I thought you were going to be my forever home, Echoes of affection, now seemingly alone. I was once treasured, but now I’m merely a choice, A name to summon when bored, just a lost voice. A love unreturned, a heart in pain, I’m just a girl with love so true, I don’t understand…? why doesn't that seem enough for you?
