I'Ve Tried
I've tried my very best
to be your loving wife,
be there when you needed me
but now, my days are filled with strife.
Sometimes I question my existence
why am I even on this world?
For years now, I've loved you
but, it's only hate you unfurl.
I know your back hurts
it seems like you blame me,
I did not do this to you
from your hate, I want to be free.
You say you don't hate me
but how do I know it's not a lie?
I can see the real truth
when I look into your eyes.
At times you confuse me so
I'm not saying I'm dumb,
one minute it's love, next anger
you leave me feeling numb.
I've tried my very best
to be the wife you want,
you say I'm not good enough for you
your hurtful words always haunt.

I was told, that I might not be the best looking thing, but I'm basically being pitied. I can't do this anymore. I'm tired of being bummed out and writing negative ****. Time to try to move onto something else...if I can.
