About a heart breaking affair

I tried...

 I tried

I tried to step out

I tried

I tried to love 

I tried

I tried to be brave 

I tried 

I tried not to hurt

I tried

I tried not to cry

I tried

I tried to forget

I tried

Although, you broke my heart I will remember

I tried

This is about stepping out and trying to be with someone that you love and they break your heart

SINKING SOUL

 

SINKING SOUL

It’s for you, I write, with all my soul and heart,

So much to say; so much to cry;

But, not to cry anymore,

Yet I write to you.

 

I had never, never been like this before,

But, today, Oh, Yea! I am lost!

My legs are wearied; my hands are tied;

My body is tired; my hope is lost;

Oh! I feel very weak in me, in this tiresome world.

 

My heart is broken; my soul is lost;

What else I have to lose, nothing but life?

You feel very weak when you are sick;

But, I feel very weak when I sink;

Never think of anything that affects you,

Because it makes you sink!

 

Like a sinking ship I sink,

Looking for the help I think;

Will I be out of these troubles?

Or, I sink with it forever.

 

Things happen as they like; not asking how we like!

Kills the peace of everyone; kills the mind of everyone.

Oh! I don’t know what happened, to a man like me;

Indulging in some affairs? Oh! Yea, it’s true;

It’s a heart-breaking affair!

 

Oh! God Almighty, I pray unto thee;

Stretch your arms and lift me up;

 For I want to live a happy life.

Like a bird I fly, flying high up in the air;

Like a bird I sing, with all its meaningless words;

Like a ‘Man’ I die, with all a meaningful life! 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The writer seeks God's help to come out of a heart breaking affair. This is incidentally the writer's first poem that he happened to write more than 30 years ago.
