I Tried
I tried.
Truly I did in both laughter and the tears
but looking back at all the lost years
the images are vague and unclear;
so easy to forget the joy and happiness
when there is too much regret in the cloudiness.
Taking hold of every memory dispersed
not a thought remains rehearsed
every step taken was me in its making
and you the center of my world
gathered up in my life swirls.
Alone now in this terminal solitude
my heart only remembers you
with every breath I take
loving you was never a mistake
but losing you was my greatest heartache.
I tried
grateful for all the years we had
wistful memories make this heart glad
filled with the soul's endeavor to love expressed
I hold dear the beauty shared as one forever blessed..
