I TRY

Getting wet in cold rains
To hide my wet tears
Walking on those lonely roads
So you won’t be near
Burning like a sober candle
But you don’t care
Figuring what went wrong
Though it is so clear
So I
Try to open the door
But it shuts
Try to walk away
But I stop
Try to say goodbye
But I choke
The more I try
The less I succeed.

Closing my drained eyes
You come as dreams
Looking at signs around me
To find what they mean
Smiling as I play to be fine
But tears have made me weak
So I
Try to open the door
But it shuts
Try to walk away
But I stop
Try to say goodbye
But I choke
The more I try
The less I succeed.

Answering my own questions
Still looking out for more
Wishing to fly back in time
To heal wounds so sore
Trying to live life as game
But this pain has gone to core
So I
Try to open the door
But it shuts
Try to walk away
But I stop
Try to say goodbye
But I choke
The more I try
The less I succeed.
