writing I tried so hard, but never got far.

[Finesthour 7,287]

I tried so hard,

yet never got far.

 

I wanted to make everything alright,

I thought I could wish it all away.

 

If I held you tight enough,

maybe the monsters would of went away.

 

But alas,

I failed you.

 

I failed everyone I held dear,

my promises falling on the ground.

 

Never leaving,

always staying.

 

Always holding,

never slipping.

 

All were broken,

and not by my own hand.

 

I wanted to keep everyone so safe,

I thought I could handle it all.

 

Instead,

life chugs on riding on it's insane track.

 

Each rail another step closer to crashing,

another step into death.

 

I sit here at my desk wondering what could of been,

what would of happened if I had saved you.

 

I am not as strong as I make out to be,

nor am I as weak.

 

I am just a lowly poet,

whose pain filled words fill his heart with a glimpse of hope.

 

Maybe someday you will return,

you might return to sing to me once more.

 

You will sing to me to calm me down,

to show me that everything is alright.

 

The song you sang still echoes through my mind,

always reminds me of you.

 

I even cried myself to sleep one night,

because I missed you so much.

 

I still miss you,

I miss my closest friend.

 

But she is now gone,

far underneath my grasp.

 

She was the only one that was there when the world was dark,

but now that there is light she has disappeared.

 

I will always miss her within my heart,

no matter what happens.

 

No matter how happy I am with my life,

I will always miss my friend.

 

I will live my life remembering her,

as she is one of the reasons I am still alive today.

 

Sadly,

I'm afraid I couldn't do the same for her.

 

I'm so sorry I failed you,

I tried my hardest.

 

I tried so hard,

but never got far...

A pretty dark read. I think it's nicely done, but I do hope that you feel better in both short term and long term.

Don't really know how to respond to that...

The song kept repeating in my head.

Thought of a poem to go with it.

What happened?

[MachineGunLola 408]

Yes, what DID happen?

[Finesthour 7,287]

Yes, what DID happen?

 

Sudden burst of sadness that ended up saving my ass.

 

You know the drill c:

I mean, what happened to the girl in the poem and who is it about?

[Finesthour 7,287]

I mean, what happened to the girl in the poem and who is it about?

 

It's about a girl that used to be close to me, but doesn't want to be around me anymore.

 

Well, that's what it was about when I wrote it.
