Edwin Hofert Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Tired of the Trying

Tired Of The Trying

Tired of the trying 
I'm not crying anymore.
Deceiving me believing
you still love me like before.

Finding fault in everything
I try to say or try to do.
You're tired of the crying
and the things that I've been through.

The bond once shared now broken
I can see it in your eyes.
Believing I'm deceiving you
and everything is lies.

What now becomes of what we've done?
We've thrown it all away.
Both tired of the trying
and the tears we cried today.

On we go this broken road
that never has an end.
Just in case along the way
we care to try again.

Edwin C Hofert

Judy Konos January 18, 2016 at 12:07 PM So Edwin...How deep is your love? You have just stated below that you would Love it....meaning a collaboration with Jeannie...and now soup mail her and get started... Jeannie Cronin January 21, 2016 at 3:33 PM I got that soup mail, Judy! I'm feeling pretty good about this!

Jeannie Cronin January 17, 2016 at 9:02 PM Great heartfelt write! I think this could make for a perfect chorus for my Long Lost Love piece in the "Write me a Duet" contest! Love to do a collaboration piece if you're ever up to it! Judy Konos January 18, 2016 at 12:05 PM Jeannie stay on him! There is no one who can write like Edwin. There is a group of us who praise him as well as draw our whips and let him have it. So soup mail him and get started...we want some creativity and you can bring it out....otherwise you may never hear from Mr. Poet who is taking Facebook by storm! Jeannie Cronin January 18, 2016 at 7:26 AM No time like the present, take the lead, any subject and form you desire. Edwin Hofert January 18, 2016 at 5:31 AM I would LOVE that! I think it would be awesome! Let me know whenever you want to get started!
