I Try I Try..

I try I try…
But I end up with nothing but a wounded spirit
Crying eyes.
Why is it so hard? All I ever do is try to please you
But it is never enough.
And when I am just done with criticism I’ll sigh…
But never will you come away to see
The hurt in my heart and eyes.
I try I try…
Always doing everything I can to make things easier for you
Feeling terrible when what I can do is limited
And yet you go on complaining and complaining
I sigh…
For I will never tell you how much you hurt me
You will only see it in your eyes
Looking at me as if I were incompetent, a child
Who knows nothing and amounts to nothing
I try I try…
And I dread the day I stop trying
For that is the day we will go our separate ways
Leaving years of trying to the ashes of time
I sigh…
For now I will keep trying
Till time and will mark a full stop on our rhyme.
