    did we try
    there's something in our relationship, we know something went wrong
    we share laughs, cried tears, we instantly hear our favorite sad song
    must we do everything we can to keep together, we ask how about us
    or must we split, go our seperate ways, part ourselves, no fuss
    it's way hard for us to be this way or that when our hearts wanna cry
    did we give up without a fight, we should ask ourselves....did we try....

    the days apart keeps my mind wondering how to fix what was broken
    or was pressure way too much, our relatioship just our token
    i sit here to wonder and these thoughts flow like rain over rocks you see
    i know this is my thought, let my thoughts be freely of me being just me
    i know we used to love to really love, it was never love for us to get by
    but when you love and love now lost, i have to ask myself....did we try....

    that question again keep haunting me and i wish i could give a reason
    to why this came about, i don't have answers can't blame on the season
    my heart now rests but feeling the effects of things that didn't go alrite
    i guess that even when you love to really love, you can still lose sight
    but again this poem, i hope someone can say something, I need a reply
    becuz i have to know this one thing that bothers me....did we even try....

    sometimes we try and try and it is not to be. God sometimes puts people in our way that can make us jump hurdles or not. We just have to decide..........Did We Try? These words supercede a lot of others. Well done and keep them coming

    Well man you're experiencing or have experienced love at it's worst as so many of us have. Been there and done that, and it's gets to the point where both can try but if it's not meant then it still will not work. It may work for a quick min but it will eventually crumble. The hard thing is to be inlove with someone you have to depart from and haveing to endure the hurt and pain of desiring someone you can no longer touch, grasp or embrace for whatever reason, just know trying is not enough, things have been appointed and planned to happen in our lives only to make and prepare us for the next storm that's about to come. So keep your head up and know that going through the storm may be hard but the most important things is when the rain stops, the winds stop blowing and in the midst of all the dupree around that you're still standing and it causes you to be able to take or stand the next storm.

    this is the samething i've been through. one person tries with actions the other tries with words. each person stuggles with thier point of view. a little thing called the past gets in the way building a mountain to tall to climb. i fell this one 100%
