I Tried

I tried.
Truly I did in both laughter and the tears
 but looking back at all the lost years
 the images are vague and unclear;
 so easy to forget the joy and happiness
 when there is too much regret in the cloudiness.
Taking hold of every memory dispersed
 not a thought remains rehearsed
 every step taken was me in its making
 and you the center of my world
 gathered up in my life swirls.
Alone now in this terminal solitude
 my heart only remembers you
 with every breath I take
 loving you was never a mistake
 but losing you was my greatest heartache.
I tried
 grateful for all the years we had
 wistful memories make this heart glad
 filled with the soul's endeavor to love expressed
 I hold dear the beauty shared as one forever blessed..
