'm Trying...

  

Every time I breathe

I feel the cheat 

 

I know you now   

But I don’t know how

To believe again

 

To relieve again

 

 

I’m dying

To forget the days

I’m crying

To forget your face

It’s not easy to pretend

The past is a fake

But for your sake

I’m trying

 

 

 

Trying to fool myself

 

 

 

 

With the words you never said

 

 

 

 

Trying...

 

 

I’m trying everyday

 

To build my faith

 

It’s not easy to attain

Not easy to retain

But I’m trying.

 

Trying

To believe the lies

In what you say

And what I see in your eyes

Oh I’m trying to believe in you

And I know

 

 

It’s not easy for you to change

 

 

So I’m trying to take the pain

 

Cuz it’s not easy to cure

The wound you gave

It’s sore

And I shouldn’t let you anymore

 

But oh...

I’m trying to forget the past

 

It’s not easy

Not easy to live

But I’m trying to forgive

 

You had reasons to kill me

Now I’m dead and you’re dead for me

But I ain't gonna leave you

I ain't gonna be You.

 

 

 

 

Damn it!

 

 

 

 

 

I still need you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s not easy

 

 

 

 

 

Not easy at all

 

 

 

 

But I’m trying to fall

 

Again

In love with you.

This was....flawless!
Really, this is such a powerful piece of writing...I almost had no words at the time when I finished reading it...
This is so deep and thoughtful...touched the very core of me...

Absolutely great.
But I'm trying to fall
Again
In love with you.

The ending came as a surprize. All through the poem, I was expecting it to be a piece about trying to forget the past and not being able to do so. That, I thought was what this poem was all about. Simply that.

Yes, of course...the way you play with words, is amazing but how the mood changes from the beginning to the end is just too good.

I have read a lot of your work. I think this is one of my favorites.

oh...nice write...!!
it happens many times when we feel cheated....!!but we have to forget all that and come up with new colors in our life....but when our past comes and stand in front of us...it's very difficult to cross that moment of life...
but that's what life is all about....we have to keep moving...!!
great work...!!
