Too much was never enough

Her smile can light up the whole room
As she gracefully walks in
Her beauty and grace was adored by many
Anyone who could have her must be
Very lucky
Everyone would wish to be with her
She's filled with adoration and
From the outside, she is strong
But only one can make her
Feel so weak and empty
She gave up who she was
And changed herself for a man who can't love
For a man who only cares for no one but himself
Still she would turn her back
From everything and everyone she loves
Thinking that in his arms is enough
In this world of hers,
The man that she loved the most was her center
No one else matters
Even if the whole world was against her
Slowly she loses her spark
She can't barely recognise herself
She's stuck in a dark lonely place
Everytime she finds the courage to
Be free and start all over again
Fear and doubt pulls her back
She wanted to go back to the person
That she was
But as she looks into the mirror
She finds it difficult to love
The reflection that she sees
For this is not her
It was no longer her,
It was that very moment that she realised that she
Gave up to much of her
For someone who can't even see her worth
She's stuck in this place for a very long time
That her fear and what ifs
Is far stronger than her willingness
To go back to who she was
She was a beautiful flower that a man
Took because he was amazed by her beauty
But as she wither
So was the love that he had for her
This beautiful woman loses track of
Who and what she was
She had given up more than she could have taken
She forgot to save a little for herself
As she sits all alone
Reminiscing all the good times
Her tears fell out of her eyes
With a sad smile,
She now understands that too much will never be enough.

It seems that he was blinded and gave herself to someone that was only attracted by her beauty and not by her qualities. He didn't really love her. He only loved her physical shell.
Explain please how too much will never be enough?

@erinmiles Yes, we can never give enough to some people. We are better off without those kind of people in our lives.

@1hopefulman I guess, you must never give everything to anyone. Always save something for yourself.

A sad reality that both men and women might face. Most would give more than what they should give but would never be enough.

It's such a lovely poem! So beautifully expressed. One should always know where to set the limits in any relationship and should always find time for self love.

Wise words, something that most of us forget every time we fall in love.
