I Tried

Please, you have to believe me 

I did everything I could to the highest degree. 

Now I just wish you met your sweet bliss, 

And you have to know I didn't want things to end like this. 

I only wanted to save you. 

I tried to do anything that I could do. 

 

Just please, don't show me rage. 

I promised I would try to get you out of your cage. 

Where your trapped in your own body, 

And hurting so badly. 

I swore I would do anything to get rid of the sickness. 

The one were you felt no happiness. 

 

I can't say "I feel your pain." 

But I have been wrapped by the same chains. 

So at least I could show you sympathy, 

And helped you to my greatest ability. 

But now I fear you won't fined rest, 

Because you think I never did my best. 

 

I have to say I did everything I could, 

But you've seemed to be misunderstood. 

Thinking horrid thoughts of how I failed. 

How I could've prevailed, 

And done at least a little more 

Instead of walking out that door. 

 

But to me, I did everything in my power, 

And I watched as you were devoured. 

I never left. 

Even when you made protest. 

I stayed be your side. 

And I swear to you I tried.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is about someone who's been very sick and how there was a person who took care of them as best as they could. But when the patient died because of a sickness the helper wished they could've saved them but there was nothing left to do. The patient thought the helper could've done more and save them so they thought the helper let them die when the helper really tried to save the patient. The helper doesn't want the patient to be fixated on rage they just want the patient to find rest.

We can't control others, only

We can't control others, only ourselves. It's just really not nice when we have to face it in this way. Nice write.


...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
