And I tried

by Bilquis   Feb 2, 2007


...and I tried
But I couldn't make myself free
From all my thoughts nor the jealousy
The desire to possess burnt in me
Brighter, even higher than the flames of my passion
...and I tried
But I could never share
What I wanted for myself
Nor compromise with my desires
Nor arrange myself with half of a whole
So I took nothing but my shattered hope
As I decided to let you go
I left everything to you
All I wanted us to be
You took the dreams I had for us
And even my heart you took from me
...and I tried
But I can't get it back that easy
You are holding on too tight
I can't bear it but it's alright
It's alright if you keep the pieces
Of the heart you tore apart
If you keep my hopes and dreams
I will leave them all to you and try
To rewrite the blank sheet you left behind
