I TRY

Getting wet in cold rains

To hide my wet tears

Walking on those lonely roads

So you won’t be near

Burning like a sober candle

But you don’t care

Figuring what went wrong

Though it is so clear

So I

Try to open the door

But it shuts

Try to walk away

But I stop

Try to say goodbye

But I choke

The more I try

The less I succeed.

 

Closing my drained eyes

You come as dreams

Looking at signs around me

To find what they mean

Smiling as I play to be fine

But tears have made me weak

So I

Try to open the door

But it shuts

Try to walk away

But I stop

Try to say goodbye

But I choke

The more I try

The less I succeed.

 

Answering my own questions

Still looking out for more

Wishing to fly back in time

To heal wounds so sore

Trying to live life as game

But this pain has gone to core

So I

Try to open the door

But it shuts

Try to walk away

But I stop

Try to say goodbye

But I choke

The more I try

The less I succeed.
