A Beautiful Disaster

tried

tried

I tried so hard to save you,

I tried so hard to protect you,

I tried to hard to stay with you,

But in the end, you only pushed me away,

Your words were relentless,

Which caused me to shatter,

I slowly began to fall apart,

And my breathing became worse,

Then it felt as if I were choking on air,

And my tears suddenly became heavier,

With every cold cut word you spoke,

I died,

It felt as if it were a slow painful death,

And when everything was done,

I never left,

You did.

But I can say,

I tried.
