i hope you know,
i tried to give my all.
i did my best
to be the one you needed;
one you could lean on
when your world seemed to tilt
& crumble to pieces.
i did my best
to be the shoulder you weeped on;
one who'd hold you tight
& tell you
it's all gonna be alright.
i did my best
to be your warmth
& the comfort you seeked
although i wish i knew
why i tried so hard with you.
i did my best
yet we couldn't make it.
our hold weakened
& we sank like a ship
with tattered sails
& weakened glimpses.
