Loving For Naught

despite your imperfections 
you loved the best way you could,
and that best was the only way you knew,
but she wanted more
to fill the void inside,
to erase the traumas, she went through
and the insufficient hugs she got,
but with all these demands,
your simple love simply wasn't enough
you were not enough

every single day you went 
a step further, 
scaled the cliched mountains and swam 
across oceans
but in the end, you realised 
you exhausted yourself for nothing 
she wasn't worth jumping over a mole hill 
she wasn't worth skipping a puddle 
she wasn't even enough for herself 
she never even loved herself
