Bruised Heart

I tried

Everything is now black and white

Because I failed to colour it in

I couldn't colour inside the line

I tried to

Everything isn't breathing 

Because I failed to let them breathe

I couldn't give them enough oxygen

I tried to

Everything they say is full of venom

Because I failed to stand up

I couldn't fight back

I tried to

Everything is scribbled onto a page

Because I failed to get another

I couldn't stand to get another

I tried to

Everything they once had loved is gone

Because I failed to exist

I couldn't show my face anymore

I tried

I tried to colour inside the lines

I tried to give them oxygen to breathe

I to stand up to them

I tried to get another piece of paper to write on

I tried to show my face to them

I tried but failed miserably
