At Least I Tried

When you were down, I helped you up. Even when you said you didn't need me, I always gave more than enough. You were sick & I was your medicine. You were hurt & I was your band aid. You were lost & I was your GPS. You called me your One Thing... That One Thing everyday that made everything better. I made you, you . I was made for you. You couldn't tell me I wasn't yours , because I knew you were mine. All this love, all this hope & all this faith but you still gave me up like I wasn't anything to you. I was yours, you're supposed to trust me Trust that I wouldn't hurt you.. Trust that I had your back.. Trust that I couldn't & wouldn't live without you.. Not one breath... Not one tear... I was there, not them. I am numb now but one I will feel this pain & it will come hard ! But after the pain & tears are gone..... At least I can say. I tried.

You should be proud that you were there. That is what love is all about. It is a shame too many people take advantage of the ones that truly care.......Hugs Tim

wow, i can't imagine being without my GPS, Jaquelyn, , Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT
